A note to self
HTML Comments
You can make notes to yourself by using an HTML comment. These allow you to add information that is ignored by the browser window, and is not displayed to the people visiting your site. To write a comment you surround your text with
<!--
and
-->
. Anything between these will not be displayed. One of the most useful ways to use comments is to add a note to the end of closing <div>, <section>, or <article> tags. Sometimes when you have many of these tags it is hard to see which end tag belongs to which starting tag. Here is an example of HTML comments:
<article>
<h2>Apples</h2>
<p>Tasty, delicious fruit!</p>
<p>The apple is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree.</p>
<section>
<h3>Red Delicious</h3>
<p>These bright red apples are the most common found in many
supermarkets.</p>
</section> <!-- end of Red Delicious section -->
<section>
<h3>Granny Smith</h3>
<p>These juicy, green apples make a great filling for
apple pies.</p>
</section> <!-- end of Granny Smith section -->
</article>
