Lachlan Hunt said: > In SGML, the comment syntax is as follows: I believe your original comment was that it was invalid HTML. While similar, the SGML rule differs from HTML in it's treatment of whitespace, and the example you provided is, in fact, invalid HTML. The recommendation[1] goes on to say authors should avoid multiple hyphens together in comments, however mulitple hyphens do not invalidate the document (otherwise, I presume, the recommendation would read MUST avoid multiple hyphens, and the validators would flag multiple occurances of them).
EXAMPLES: <!-- html style valid comment --> <! -- SGML style invalid comment --> [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4 kind regards Terrence Wood. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
