2.1 Comment Tags

When building web pages it can be often be useful to insert helpful comments into the HTML pages to explain what a particular section of code does. This comes in particularly useful when constructing long pages or during editing sessions, and can be accomplished using the comment tag:

<!--comment goes here-->

Anything between the <!-- and the --> will be ignored by a browser. For example:

 <!--My first website, designed by me-->

 <html>

 <!--head section-->

  <head>

  </head>

 <!--body section-->

  <body>

    <h1>My first Website</h1>

    <br />

    <p>Hello <b>beautiful</b> world!!</p>

    <hr />

    <p>You <i>can</i> do it if you learn the tags &amp; don't give up!</p>

  </body>

 </html>

Of course we wouldn't normally need to add comments to a site as simple as the one in this example, but they can be useful for more complex sites.
