I have a need to include */ in my JavaDoc comment. The problem is that this is also the same sequence for closing a comment. What the proper way to quote/escape
*/
Another way I stumbled upon, just for completeness: add some HTML markup which doesn't alter the output between the * and /.
/** * */ */
Compared to the HTML escape solution, this seems something of an ugly hack, but it also yields the right result in HTML output.
