**SAS Packages Framework**, version 20210528

**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

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
yabwon	f7485ce6c4	SAS Packages Framework, version `20210528` 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.
