Tag Description

The comment tag (<!--...-->) is used to insert a comment into the source code. A comment will be ignored by the browser and therefore, not displayed.

An HTML comment begins with "<!--", ends with "-->". It can not contain "--" or ">" anywhere in the comment.

This tag has the form:

<!-- comment text -->

Note: Comments can span multiple lines, but cannot be nested within each other.
