Answer 8

I'll amend to the answers, but when I'm testing locally, and cannot be bothered to use PHP, etc. at that time, using <!-- --> can allow me to comment out HTML which I am unfinished with, or I need to debug something else for CSS / Javascript.

EDIT 2018/09/19 PDT: It also allows me to comment out incomplete `<script>` tags (to prevent errors), or otherwise help isolate a bug when it comes down to which `<script>` is the cause.
