Adding Comments

Comments are pieces of code that are ignored by the browser. They are not displayed on the page.

You can use comments to explain your code, which can help you or others understand it later.

HTML

CSS

<!-- This is a comment -->\n<p>This is a paragraph.</p>\n<!-- Comments are not displayed in the browser -->

You can also use comments to "hide" parts of your HTML code temporarily while you are testing or debugging.
