HTML: Comments

Comments in HTML are used to add notes or explanations within the code. They are ignored by web browsers and are not displayed on the web page. Comments help document your code, providing context, or temporarily disabling specific parts of the code without deleting them entirely. Here's how you can add comments in HTML:

Single-line Comments:

• Single-line comments start with <!-- and end with -->. Everything between these delimiters is treated as a comment.
• Example:

<!-- This is a single-line comment -->

Multi-line Comments:

• Multi-line comments are used for longer explanations or comments that span multiple lines.
• They start with <!-- and end with -->, and can span across multiple lines within.
• Example:

<!--
   This is a multi-line comment.
   It can span across multiple lines.
   Comments are useful for adding notes to your code.
-->

Commenting Out Code:

• Comments are also useful for temporarily disabling parts of your HTML code without deleting them.
• You can comment out entire sections or specific lines of code to prevent them from being rendered by the browser.
• Example:

<!--
   <p>This paragraph is commented out and won't be displayed.</p>
   <a href="#">This link is also commented out.</a>
-->

Usage Tips:

• Use comments to explain complex or non-obvious parts of your code, especially if others will read or collaborate on the code.
• Comments can also serve as reminders or placeholders for future updates or changes.
• Keep comments concise and relevant to avoid cluttering the code unnecessarily.

Including comments in your HTML code is a good practice for maintaining code readability, aiding in collaboration, and providing clarity about the purpose of different sections within your web pages.
