You just have to live with (* *) On the same topic, I find one of the annoying things in the notebook is that one can't write free style comments. The comment text follow the notebook rules for alignments in the code cell, so one can't align comments nicely and make free style type documentation inside the notebook (i.e. like verbatim). Unless one makes a new Text cell to write comments in, which is ok, but if one is in a Code Cell, writing comments next or around the code is not too much fun because of code cell own rules of alignments of code which affects comments as well. --Nasser
