=begin
(some code here)
=end

and

# This code
# on multiple lines
# is commented out

都是正确的。第一种注释类型的优点是可编辑性，因为删除的字符更少，所以取消注释更容易。第二类注释的优点是逐行读取代码的可读性，更容易判断某一行已被注释掉。你的电话，但想想谁会来找你，他们阅读和维护起来有多容易。

=begin
My 
multiline
comment
here
=end

尽管存在=begin和=end，但正常且更正确的注释方式是在每行上使用#。如果您阅读任何ruby库的源代码，您会发现几乎在所有情况下都是这样进行多行注释的。

=begin
comment line 1
comment line 2
=end

确保=beginand=end是该行的第一项（没有空格）

使用以下任一项：

=begin
This
is
a
comment
block
=end

or

# This
# is
# a
# comment
# block

是rdoc目前唯一支持的两个，我认为这是一个很好的理由只使用这些。

  def idle
    <<~aid
    This is some description of what idle does.

    It does nothing actually, it's just here to show an example of multiline
    documentation. Thus said, this is something that is more common in the
    python community. That's an important point as it's good to also fit the
    expectation of your community of work. Now, if you agree with your team to
    go with a solution like this one for documenting your own base code, that's
    fine: just discuss about it with them first.

    Depending on your editor configuration, it won't be colored like a comment,
    like those starting with a "#". But as any keyword can be used for wrapping
    an heredoc, it is easy to spot anyway. One could even come with separated
    words for different puposes, so selective extraction for different types of
    documentation generation would be more practical. Depending on your editor,
    you possibly could configure it to use the same syntax highlight used for
    monoline comment when the keyword is one like aid or whatever you like.

    Also note that the squiggly-heredoc, using "~", allow to position
    the closing term with a level of indentation. That avoids to break the visual reading flow, unlike this far too long line.
