CSS - Comments

In CSS, comments are useful in adding explanatory notes or annotations within your stylesheet that are not interpreted as styling instructions by the web browser.

Syntax

/* This is a comment */
p {
  color: red; /* Set text color to red */
}

CSS comments are intended for the benefit of developers and are ignored by the browser when rendering a web page. They are useful in documentation, debugging, etc.

Types of CSS Comments

In CSS, there are two main ways to create comments:

• Single-line Comments: Single-line comments are created using /* to start the comment and */ to end it.

• Multi-line Comments: Multi-line comments allow you to add comments that span multiple lines. They are also enclosed within /* and */ .

/* Single line Comment */

/*
Comment
which stretches
over multiple
lines
*/
