Gettext automatic comments generation
To make xgettext extract comments from your source, you need to pass an argument to tell it what comments to look for.
From the documentation:
‘
-c[tag]’
‘--add-comments[=tag]’Place comment blocks starting with tag and preceding keyword lines in the output file. Without a tag, the option means to put all comment blocks preceding keyword lines in the output file.
Passing -c/ or --add-comments=/ as an argument will make it recognize the "triple slash" format.
