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!

Commenting is a way that you can leave comments for other developers within your code without affecting the resulting output that is displayed to the end user.

Commenting is also a convenient way to make code inactive without having to delete it entirely.

And that’s actually almost everything there is to say about „uncommenting“ HTML elements. While we will explore different strategies on how to properly comment your HTML in the future, this task is about uncommenting the code provided:

<!--
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>
<p>Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff.</p>
-->

What this task asks us to do is quite straight forward:

Uncomment your h1, h2 and p elements.

So how do we uncomment HTML? We simply get rid of <!– which starts a comment, and remove –> which ends comments in HTML. The result should look somewhat similar to the following:

<h1>Hello World</h1>
<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>
<p>Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff.</p>

Summa summarum: this task is about removing the HTML commenting tags in order to restore the markup to all its previous glory – meaning, that it actually shows up again. Therefore, we need to delete the opening tag of HTML comments <!– at the very beginning as well as the closing tag of HTML comments –> at the end of the markup provided. This is important as HTML comments not only enable us to hide elements temporarily, but with a proper commenting strategy in place we can document the HTML we wrote so others can understand and build upon it.
