Comments in HTML

Reference on HTML Comments. Covers their use in Web-design, and some background information.

Comments can be written directly in the HTML source, and will be ignored by browsers.

Writing comments in HTML can be useful when trying to understand what the different parts of your code is doing. It can also be useful when you are multiple people working on the same code, since everyone might not have the same level of understanding of the code as you do.

Example

When writing comments in HTML, you would do it like below.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
   <!--This is a HTML comment-->
   <title>My first Website</title>
  </head>
  <body>
   <h1>My first Website.</h1>
   <p>This example shows how to write comments in HTML</p>
   <!--This is a HTML comment-->
  </body>
</html>
