h1 {
color : #333333;
}
Comments
Comments are used in CSS to explain a block of code or to make temporary changes during development. The commented code doesn’t execute and is ignored by browsers. comments have no effect on the layout of a document. A CSS comment is placed inside the <style>
element, both single and multi-line comments and starts with /*
and ends with */
.
/* This is a single line comment: */
table {
font-size: 16px /* 1rem = 16px */
}
/* This is a multi-line comment:
This is second line.
This is another line.*/
