There isn't a special convention for a paragraph comment.
You can start each line in your paragraph with a '#' character.
That is common practice.
# This is a
# multiline comment.
If you wanted to comment out several lines without adding a comment
character to each one, you could use a 'here' document with no command
to send it to.
<<\COMMENT
This is a
multiline comment.
COMMENT
It would be safer to quote a character in the here document delimiter as I did
above. That will prevent command expansion of the comment text which might
have unintended side-effects.
