<!--...--> HTML Comments tag
Earlier, the <comment> tag was used for comments.
But, the <comment> tag is deprecated in HTML5.
So, you should code the comments like below –
<!--I am a comment-->
Why comments are used and how to see it?
- To explain code to other designers/developers. They can refer it during editing/modified the code.
- Sometimes, you do not want to delete the code but do not want to execute this, then you can comment that code.
- Comments are invisible to end users but the other developers can see the source code to check for any comments.
- The search browser inspector can be used to see the comments.
Example
<body> <!-- Learn HTML from scratch --> <p>Example for comment tag</p> <!-- Comments are invisible to end users. --> </body>
