I have the following in my .dsl file:

;;;; -------------------------------
;;;; Comment handling
;;;; -------------------------------

(define *comment-start* (string-append "<" "!-- "))
(define *comment-end* (string-append " --" ">
"))

(define (make-comment cmt)
    (make formatting-instruction
	  data: (string-append *comment-start* cmt *comment-end*)))
