# comment

Prevents an expression from being rendered or output.

Any text inside `comment` tags won't be output, and any Liquid code will be parsed, but not executed.

## Syntax

```oobleckTag
{% comment %}
  content
{% endcomment %}
```

### content

The content of the comment.

### Inline comments

## Syntax

```oobleckTag
{% # content %}
```

Inline comments prevent an expression inside of a tag `{% %}` from being rendered or output.

You can use inline comment tags to annotate your code, or to temporarily prevent logic in your code from executing.

You can create multi-line inline comments. However, each line in the tag must begin with a `#`, or a syntax error will occur.

##### Code

```liquid
{% # this is a comment %}

{% # for i in (1..3) -%}
  {{ i }}
{% # endfor %}

{%
  ###############################
  # This is a comment
  # across multiple lines
  ###############################
%}
```

### Inline comments inside `liquid` tags

You can use inline comment tags inside [`liquid` tags](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/liquid). The tag must be used for each line that you want to comment.

##### Code

```liquid
{% liquid
  # this is a comment
  assign topic = 'Learning about comments!'
  echo topic
%}
```

##### Output

```html
Learning about comments!
```
