I assume that you want to document a package? If that is the case, why 
not automatically generate your package from a Notebook in which the 
documentation can be both extensive and nicely formatted. Also, it 
allows you t break your code into understandable chunks, making your 
code easier to maintain, test, and understand. Modifying the Notebook 
StyleSheet allows you to write comments in any format that you choose.

For a nice example, see the Notebook

   NotationSource.nb

which (automatically) generates the Notation.m package (loaded as 
<<Utilities`Notation`), and is included with the standard distribution 
in the following directory:

  ToFileName[{$TopDirectory, "AddOns", "ExtraPackages","Utilities",    
    "Documentation","English"}]

Cheers,
Paul
