+ * Somewhat ugly processing of comments, which leads to integration of
+   adjacent comments and large areas of continious whitespace as a
+   side effect.
+
+   For example:
+
+       <h4>Translatable string</h4>
+       <!-- comment line 1 -->
+       <!-- comment line 2 -->
+       <!-- comment line 3 -->

+
+   It is questionable whether the processing of comments is ugly or
+   the comments are placed in a ugly way in our source files in the
+   first place. But we can still deal with the the whitespace side
+   effect by postprocessing the generated article.xx.html files with a
+   tool (some sed script, for example) that compresses continuous
+   whitespace with multiple newlines into one or two newlines.
