How to Comment in Html

In HTML, you can add comments to your code to provide explanations or notes that are not displayed in the rendered output. HTML comments are useful for documenting your code, making it more readable, or temporarily disabling certain sections of code. Here’s how you can add comments in HTML:

Single-line comments:

HTML<span role="button" tabindex="0" data-code="
<!-- This is a single-line comment -->

In the example above, the comment starts with <!-- and ends with -->. Anything between these markers will be treated as a comment and will not be displayed in the browser.

Multi-line comments:

HTML<span role="button" tabindex="0" data-code="
<!--
  This is a multi-line comment.
  It can span across multiple lines.
-->

Multi-line comments start with <!-- and end with -->, just like single-line comments. You can include multiple lines of comments within these markers.

It’s important to note that HTML comments are meant for developers and are not rendered as part of the webpage. They are purely for code documentation purposes and are ignored by browsers.

Comments can be added anywhere in your HTML code, such as between tags or within the body of a tag. They can help you and other developers understand the purpose and functionality of specific code segments.

For example:

HTML<span role="button" tabindex="0" data-code="<div class="container"> <!– This div contains the main content –> <h1>Welcome to my website</h1> <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
<div class="container">
  <!-- This div contains the main content -->
  <h1>Welcome to my website</h1>
  <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
</div>

In the example above, a comment is added to describe the purpose of the <div> element.

Remember to use comments judiciously to make your code more readable and maintainable.
