Tips:
- Comments can span multiple lines
- You can comment out sections of HTML by surrounding them with comment tags.
- Use comments whenever you write any complicated code that might be hard to figure out later. A good best practice is to put comments at the beginning and end of layout tags so you know where your page structure is.
- Comments can also include meta information such as:
- author
- date created or modified
- copyright information
- If you're writing XHTML, you should not have two dashes together -- inside any comments.
