Tutorials - HTML - Comments

Comments can be useful to explain to someone else (or even to yourself) what a section of your document is designed to do. As HTML is constructed from a set of tags, it quite quickly begins to look very similar when creating complex documents. You can use comments to identify sections of the document which are important. Comments are started with the string . Comments do not show up in the browser when your page is rendered.

Proin lorem orci, dapibus et congue ac, venenatis et risus. Vestibulum ligula mauris, tincidunt id rhoncus viverra, mollis vel justo. Proin id tortor enim, ac aliquet nisl.
