The actual convention is
NB.*verbname v description
or
NB.*adverbname a description
etc.
 
It was designed for scriptdoc tool.
 
There is also a feature in j wd environment which calls scriptdoc
if you hit Ctrl+F1 when your caret is on top of a verb name.
Unfortunately it works only for verbs in z (and j and jhelp) locale.
 
In http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/AndrewNikitin/jhelp
I documented how to hack help-invoking code to include verbs in base 
locale.
 
It is worth noting here that Oleg has made a few attempts to improve 
on scriptdoc (htmldoc comes to mind first). However, neither
scriptdoc, nor its alternatives seem not to be widely known and used,
which is shame.
