_Use the end-of-line form ('///') for doc comments._

## Description

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a documentation comment uses
the block comment style (delimited by `/**` and `*/`).

## Example

The following code produces this diagnostic because the documentation
comment for `f` uses a block comment style:

```dart
[!/**!]
 [!* Example.!]
 [!*/!]
void f() {}
```

## Common fixes

Use an end-of-line comment style:

```dart
/// Example.
void f() {}
```
