Topic: Style: Documenting Proofs

Hello,
What is the preferred style for inling documentation for proofs?
Specifically, is there any style guides for this on Lean community (my apologies for missing this).
Thank you!

Are you asking about -- comment vs /- comment -/in the middle of a proof? Last time I used -- comment in a long PR and it was accepted, so I guess that was fine

Use -- is it's only a line or two, /- if you're writing paragraphs.
