Some just want to see the world burn. Or delete parts or their HTML 😉 Whether its just for kicks and lolz – or simply to gratify ones‘ need for self-flagellation – in this task we’ll delete stuff we made. Get ready for it!

I know, I know – the picture above is a fraud. It does not show comments in HTML but comments in JavaScript.

So. You want to hide the cat content for which you painstakingly wrote HTML but do not want delete it – because you need it to guide yourself towards a solution that is both smart and beautiful? Look no further, HTML comments at your service!
