CSS Comments

CSS 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 */. Comments can also span multiple lines.

Single-Line Comment

Example

css
p {
  color: red;  /* This is a single-line comment */
  text-align: center;
}

Multi-Line Comment

Example

css
/* This is
a multi-line
comment */
p {
  color: red;
}

You can also use comments to "comment out" code to temporarily disable it, which is useful for debugging.
