CSS Comments
A CSS comment function adds a note explaining the code or stopping the web browser from altering unique segments of the sheet. The web browser does not display comments, but you can use the source code to edit the document later.
If different developers are designing a website, these comments can help them. A CSS comment is within the <style> element, beginning with /* and ending with */.
/* Set the background color */
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
/* Style for the heading */
h1 {
color: darkblue;
}You can add comments in the middle of the code and even cover multiple lines.
<head>
<style>
/* Page background */
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
/* Heading text */
h1 {
color: navy;
}
/* Button styles */
.btn {
background-color: blue; /* Blue button */
/* White text */ color: white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

</body>Types of CSS Comments
Here are two ways to compose comments.
Single-line Comment:
You can generate a single-line comment using /* to start a comment and */ to end the comment. The single-line comment is mainly used to add comments to the style sheet.
/* Style for paragraphs */
p {
color: darkblue; /* Set text color */
}
/* Button style */
button {
padding: 10px 20px; /* Add padding */
background-color: #4CAF50; /* Green background */
color: white; /* White text */
}Multi-line Comment:
Its purpose is to add comments that cover multiple lines. You can write it by enclosing the comment within /* and */.
/*
This is a multi-line comment.
It can span multiple lines and is useful for longer explanations
or commenting out large sections of code.
*/
/* Style for the body */
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
Comments act effectively in both internal and external CSS, even when using CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap.
Browsers widely accept CSS comments and cannot be executed by the browser, so CSS comments do not affect the layout and site functions. Integrating comments is necessary to ensure clarity and facilitate teamwork among developers. Effectively using CSS comments amplifies the quality and maintains the code.
