CSS Comments
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) comments are used to add explanatory notes to the code or to prevent the browser from interpreting specific parts of the style sheet.
- 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.
How to Add Comments in CSS
To add a comment in CSS, simply place your plain text inside /* */
marks.
This tells the browser that they are notes and should not be rendered on the web page.
Here is an example of how to add a comment in CSS:
/* This is a comment */
This will add a comment to your CSS code.
CSS Comment Syntax
CSS comments can be placed wherever white space is allowed within a style sheet. They can be used on a single line or traverse multiple lines.
The /* */
comment syntax is used for both single and multiline comments.
Here is an example of a multiline comment:
/*
This is a multiline comment.
It can span multiple lines.
*/
Why Use 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.
- Adding comments to the code is a good practice that can help to understand the code if someone reads the code or if it is reviewed later.
