Comments

Comments are for readers of the plan specification. They are ignored by the programs that check the specification.

Comments begin with a # character and continue to the end of the line of text.

For example,

# 
# The Science depth requirement ensures that all students have a
# basic literacy in at least one of the hard science disciplines.
1 of "Science depth" {

    # Biology
    all of { ^BIOL_101 ^BIOL_102 ^BIOL_103 }

    # Physics
    all of { ^PHYS_101 ^PHYS_102 ^PHYS_103 }

    # Chemistry
    all of { ^CHEM_101 ^CHEM_102 ^CHEM_103 }
}

Plan specifications are meant to be reasonably readable on their own. It’s probably overkill to include this many comments in an actual plan specification.

You can add blank lines. Unfortunately, some parts of the degree audit system do not preserve them.
