**SAS Packages Framework**, version 20210528:
Help tags selection modified in the `%generatePackage()` macro.
New solution allows to write help tags surrounding comments in two ways.
The first (old) is:
```
/*** HELP START ***/
/*
comment
*/
/*** HELP END ***/
```
and the second (new):
```
/*** HELP START ***//*
comment
*//*** HELP END ***/
```
The second allows to print help info in log without `/*` and `*/` surrounding comments. It looks better and is easier for building `.md` files or other help documents (so you do not have to remove `/*` by hand).
Documentation updated.
The following packages were regenerated with new version of the SPF:
- BasePlus
- DFA
- dynMacroArray
- macroArray
- SQLinDS
