HTML Comments

HTML comments are not displayed in the browser, but they can help document your HTML source code.

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

<!-- Write your comments here -->

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

<!-- This is a comment -->
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<!-- Remember to add more information here -->

Hide Content

Comments can be used to hide content. This can be helpful if you hide content temporarily:

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<!-- <p>This is another paragraph </p> -->
<p>This is a paragraph too.</p>

You can also hide more than one line. Everything between the  will be hidden from the display.

<!--
<p>Look at this cool image:</p>
<img border="0" src="pic_trulli.jpg" alt="Trulli">
-->

Comments can be used to hide parts in the middle of the HTML code:

<p>This <!-- great text --> is a paragraph.</p>
