The comment tag is used to insert comments in the source code. Comments are not displayed in the browsers.
Comments are some text or code written in your code to give an explanation about the code, and not visible to the user. Comments which are used for HTML file are known as HTML comments. Anything written between these tags will be ignored by the browser, so comments will not be visible on the webpage.
HTML Comment Tag
You can add comments to your HTML source by using the following syntax:
<!-- Write your comments here -->
Notice that there is an exclamation point (!) in the start tag, but not in the end tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<h2>HTML Comments</h2>
