Comments
- A comment can appear anywhere in a document, even before the doctype, but not in other tags. (However, placing comments – or indeed any characters except for whitespace – before the doctype will cause Internet Explorer 6 to use quirks mode for the document.) None of its enclosed contents are processed. For compatibility with some pre-1995 browsers, the contents of
styleandscriptelements are still sometimes surrounded by comment delimiters. - Comments do not nest: the markup
Xend-->will yield the commentXbeginafter it.

Famous quotes containing the word comments:
“Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments upon it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
