Here's a tutorial on HTML comments:
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) comments are used to add notes and explanations to your HTML code that are not displayed on the web page itself. Comments can be useful for documenting your code, providing context for other developers, or temporarily disabling parts of your code during testing or debugging.
To add a comment to your HTML code, you can use the <!--
and -->
tags. Anything between these tags will be treated as a comment and will not be displayed on the web page.
Here's an example of how to add a comment to your HTML code:
<!-- This is a comment --> <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
In this example, the comment is added before the paragraph element using the <!--
and -->
tags. The comment will not be displayed on the web page, but can be viewed in the HTML source code.
You can also use comments to temporarily disable parts of your HTML code during testing or debugging. For example, you might want to comment out a section of code that is causing an error, like this:
<!-- <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p> <p>This paragraph is causing an error.</p> -->
In this example, the paragraph element is surrounded by the <!--
and -->
tags, which effectively comment out the entire section of code. This allows you to test or debug the rest of your code without the problematic section causing errors.
By using comments in your HTML code, you can add helpful notes and explanations to your code, document your work, and temporarily disable parts of your code during testing and debugging.
