Spring Into HTML and CSS

Commenting and Formatting CSS

Just as you can add comments to your HTML files to describe sections, hide markup and content from the browser, or add directives to fellow document authors, you can comment your CSS documents. And just as HTML can be written with indentations or other personal formatting preferences, so can CSS.
