Comments in HTML

The meta-HTML processor recognizes two forms of comments. These comments are deleted from the generated HTML or JavaScript. They enable the application developer to comment the HTML objects in the database without increasing the size of the HTML passed to the browser.

The recognized comments are as follows:

Two slashes followed by a percent sign at the start of a line designates everything to the end of the line containing the slashes as a comment.

//%  anything

A less-than sign, followed by an exclamation mark and a percentage sign designates everything from those marks to the mark --> as a comment, which may be on another line.

<!%  anything   --> 

These meta-HTML comments may be used both in HTML areas and attached auxiliary files.
