HTML Comments

HTML comments are annotations in your code that are ignored by the browser but visible when viewing the source code. They're essentially notes to yourself or other developers to explain certain sections of your HTML.

Here's a breakdown of HTML comments:

Syntax:

• Single-line comments: Start with <!–– and end with ––>. Anything in between these tags is a comment and won't be displayed.
• Multi-line comments: Similar to single-line comments, but use `` at the end. This allows you to write comments across multiple lines.

Use cases:

• Documenting your code: Add explanations and notes about specific sections of your HTML. This can be helpful for yourself or others when revisiting the code later.
• Debugging: Temporarily "comment out" sections of your code by wrapping them in comments. This can help you isolate and identify issues while testing your page.
• Improving code readability: Break down complex sections of your code with descriptive comments to make it easier to understand.

Things to keep in mind:

• Comments are for clarification, not for adding content that should be displayed to users.
• Make sure your comments are accurate and up-to-date.
• Avoid excessive commenting, as it can clutter your code and make it harder to read.

Here are some examples of how you can use HTML comments:

HTML

<header>
  <h1>My Awesome Website</h1>
  <nav>
    <a href="#">Home</a>
    <a href="#">About</a>
    <a href="#">Contact</a>
  </nav>
</header>

<main>
  <h2>Welcome!</h2>
  <p>This is the main content of my website.</p>
  </main>

<footer>
  <p>&copy; 2023 My Awesome Website</p>
</footer>

I hope this explanation helps! Feel free to ask if you have any further questions about HTML comments.
