How to write HTML Comments?
An HTML Comment starts with <!-- and ends with -->
It looks like this:
<! -- comments go here -->
Example:
<p> Single line Comment <!-- single-line comment --> </p> <p> Multi-line comment <!-- this is a multi-line comment some phrases go here some phrases go here --> </p> <div> <!-- putting comments beside a start tag --> Sentences, HTML elements and images etc.. may appear here. </div> <!-- putting comments beside a start --> |
Output:
Single line comemnt
Multi-line comment
Sentences, HTML elements and images etc.. may appear here.
On the example given above, you have learned that you can make a single-line and multi-line of HTML comments. And if you noticed we also put comments beside a start and end tag.
That is for us to easily recognize where a specific element starts and ends.
