Comments

Notes can be left for viewing in an HTML document. These notes are not visible in the web browser. To do this, the comment tag is used. The comment tag is a standalone tag, which means that this tag does not end. The comment starts with an exclamation mark. Exclamation mark is required after the opening bracket but not before the closing bracket.
