HTML comments are used to add notes or explanations to a web page’s source code. Comments are ignored by web browsers and are not visible to users who view the page, but can be helpful for developers and other users who need to understand how the code works or make changes to it.
To create a comment in HTML, you can use the <!-- --> syntax. Anything that you place between these two symbols will be treated as a comment by the browser and will not be displayed on the page. Here’s an example:
<!-- This is a comment in HTML -->
<p>This is some text that will be displayed on the page.</p>
In this example, the text “This is a comment in HTML” is a comment and will not be displayed on the page, but the paragraph with the text “This is some text that will be displayed on the page.” will be displayed as usual.
Comments can be used for a variety of purposes, such as documenting the code, explaining how it works, or temporarily disabling certain parts of it. It’s important to use comments sparingly and to keep them concise and clear, as too many comments can make the code difficult to read and understand.
