SAKryukov is correct in that the Hex file format does not contain any specifier for format: however you may find that whatever you are using to process the file does.

Some software will accept a semicolon (';') in place of the record start code (a colon ':') to indicate that the line is a comment - it is worth checking with the software you are using if adding comments is an important feature.

Did you read the format description: http://www.lucidtechnologies.info/intel.htm[^], http://www.piclist.com/techref/fileext/hex/intel.htm[^], http://www.microsym.com/content/index.php?pid=4&id=25[^]?

The keyword "comment" not found…
