# iscomment Element

Document your templates and include reminders or instructions for yourself and others who work with the system that aren’t available to anyone who "views source" on the page.

## Syntax

```
<iscomment>
  ...
</iscomment>
```

The alternative usage of the following has been deprecated as of 03/06/2009.

```
<!---  --->
```

**note:** We recommend that you use the standard `<iscomment>` syntax. However, using this syntax doesn't cause a failure.

## Purpose

Anything enclosed in an `<iscomment>... </iscomment>` structure isn't parsed by the template processor and doesn't appear in the generated storefront page.

HTML comments created by surrounding the text with the character strings `<!--`and -`->` are now deprecated. This is because this commenting method provides no confidentiality. Anyone can use a browser's **View** > **Source** menu to see the HTML code, including the comments.

## Example

```
<iscomment>
This comment isn't sent to the browser and isn't visible in the page source.
</iscomment>
```
