Hi, I'm new at this, so I migth have some stupid questions...
I noticed that there's a diference when I use

/* this case

letters
become green*/

/**
*this case
*the letters become blue and sometimes
*some marks tags @ are already written
*for me
*/

Can anyone give an explanation?

These are ordinary comments.
