Comments in HTML

gistfile1.txt

The <!-- --> syntax is the HTML comment. This is the way to add your own notes into the code which will not display when the HTML is rendered by the browser. It is also a good practice for web-developers to use the comment tags to "hide" scripts from browsers without support for it (so they don't show them as a plain text).
