See drivers/net/z85230.c for an example. It is meant to drop into comments
in such a way that its hardly obvious they are 'special' in any way.

It'll output man pages, html, tex, pdf, ps, dvi and probably a few more
formats. It turns the pages into DocBook SGML (an SGML markup originally
aimed at technical documentation), from there the tools can make almost
anything of it easily (except ascii, although there are ugly ways to do
that job)
