HTML Comments
HTML comments are pieces of text wrapped in
< !--- and -- > on an HTML document. They serve many different purposes, such as providing
explanations, reminders, and comments to the developers handling the code.
Types of Comments
There are two types of comments in HTML:
Single-line Comments
Single-line comments in HTML begin with
< !-- and terminate with -- >. Anything between these is interpreted as a comment and is not
displayed in the web browser.
Example:
< ! -- This is a single-line comment -->
Output
Multi-line Comments
Multi-line comments run over several lines and are ideal for giving elaborate explanations.
Example:
< ! --
This is a multi-line
comment. -- >
