This troubleshooting guide helps you fix a common HTML syntax error where code displays as raw text on your web page instead of rendering correctly. The Root Cause: Comment Nesting Errors

The code snippet contains a syntax conflict. You cannot safely nest standard HTML comments inside other HTML comments.

When you write … –>, the browser reads the very first –> it encounters as the end of the entire comment block. This prematurely exposes the remaining text and trailing brackets, causing them to leak directly onto your live web page. How to Fix It Choose one of the following methods to resolve the issue: Method 1: Separate the Comments

Keep your comments independent of one another. Ensure each block closes completely before opening a new one. Use code with caution. Method 2: Strip Out Internal Code

If you are using comment tags to temporarily hide a block of code during testing, completely remove any pre-existing comment tags from the hidden section. Use code with caution. Method 3: Use Server-Side Comments

If you are working with a backend framework, use server-side commenting. The server strips these out entirely before sending the page to the user’s browser, preventing any frontend rendering glitches. PHP: <?php // Comment ?> Blade (Laravel): {{– Comment –}} Jinja (Python/Flask): {# Comment #} To help debug this specific layout issue, tell me:

What framework or platform (WordPress, React, raw HTML) are you building this on? What specific content are you trying to hide or display?
