Comments In Html

You can add comments to your HTML source by using the following syntax:

Notice that there is an exclamation point (!) in the opening tag, but not in the closing tag.

Note: Comments are not displayed by the browser, but they can help document your HTML source code.

With comments you can place notifications and reminders in your HTML:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<!-- This is a comment -->
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<!-- Comments are not displayed in the browser -->

</body>
</html>

Output

This is a paragraph.

Comments are also great for debugging HTML, because you can comment out HTML lines of code, one at a time, to search for errors:
