+<h4>Documentation comment support</h4>
+<p>Clang now supports documentation comments written in a Doxygen-like syntax.
+Clang parses the comments and can detect syntactic and semantic errors in
+comments.  These warnings are off by default.  Pass <tt>-Wdocumentation</tt>
+flag to enable warnings about documentation comments.</p>
