CSS Comments
CSS comments are used to add notes or reminders within your CSS code. They are not displayed in the browser and can be helpful for documenting your styles.
Basic Syntax
CSS comments are written between /* and */ characters:
/* This is a CSS comment */Example Usage
Comments can be used to describe sections of your CSS or to temporarily disable styles for testing purposes:
/* Main styles for the header */
header {
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
}
/* Temporarily hide the sidebar */
/* .sidebar {
display: none;
} */Best Practices
- Use comments to explain complex sections of your CSS code.
- Keep comments concise and relevant.
- Remove or update comments as you modify your styles.
