eg:
<b>position: relative</b> } /* 1 */
Kinda hard to see, it’s that faint bit hanging out to the right, namely:
/* 1 */
? Thanks everyone.
It’s a HTML comment. If you put those around either code or content, a browser won’t make any use of it - in this case the number 1 won’t get displayed.
I’m not too sure about that spare curly brace though - is this just a snippet from a larger piece of code?
Try again 
.
It would presumably mark the end of the declaration block/rule.
whoops, my bad…
Let’s try a CSS multi-line comment then. 
Yup 
. I should note that there are no single-line comments in CSS as well (as to not give OP the wrong idea.)
I’m nitpicky; sue me.
Where do I need to send the notification?
This must be serious. Spain vs Ryan Reese.
Wow. I didn’t know I was so important that I could count for a whole country

Sass and Less both implement them though. They won’t be included in the CSS output.

Alright I don’t know where this post will be placed because I don’t know where the bottom of my thread is . . . I just wanted to thank everyone for explaining that this is a “Comment”. I was going to include a link for future reference (mine or anyone else’s) but I swear I couldn’t find this turkey —
/* Turkey */
— without entire paragraphs qualifying it one way or another. It’s 4 lousy keystrokes! Write an example already!
And if the following is also a “Comment” —
<!-- Son of Turkey -->
then I don’t know why I couldn’t find two simple examples with Google. I’ll leave because I’m in a pissy mood. Thank you everyone.
I was going to include a link for future reference (mine or anyone else’s)
/* CSS block or line comment */
// Javascript line comment and
/* Javascript block
comment */
then I don’t know why I couldn’t find two simple examples with Google.
Tags are not content for a search engine, thats why. And I don’t know any global code search engine thats available without an account, sorry.

There’s also
# “hash” comments
and
; semi-colon comments
REM comments not to mention
// also works in PHP
/* so does this */
# and so does this
Heck, we need to list every language, preprocessor, postprocessor, variation language, etc, ever invented and list the comments. Let’s go.

You mean for the main programming languages on the web… For Visual Basic, commeting is done using an apostrophe
