CSS Comments

  • CSS comments are not displayed in the browser, but they can help document your source code.
  • Comments are used to explain the code, and may help when you edit the source code at a later date.
  • Comments are ignored by browsers.

A CSS comment is placed inside the <style> element, and starts with /* and ends with */:
Example

/* This is a single-line comment */

p {

  color: red;

}

  • You can add comments wherever you want in the code:

Example

p {

  color: red;  /* Set text color to red */

}

  • Comments can also span multiple lines: 

Example

/* This is

a multi-line

comment */

p {

  color: red;

}

HTML and CSS Comments

  • From the HTML tutorial, you learned that you can add comments to your HTML source by using the <!--...--> syntax.

In the following example, we use a combination of HTML and CSS comments:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<style>

p {

  color: red; /* Set text color to red */

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<h2>My Heading</h2>

<!-- These paragraphs will be red -->

<p>Hello World!</p>

<p>This paragraph is styled with CSS.</p>

<p>CSS comments are not shown in the output.</p>

</body>

</html>
