I need to use HTML comments to store specific data, but I don’t want use comment schemes that already exist, as generated by programs like Dreamweaver <!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/File.lbi" --> or Frontpage.
How do I know what comment scheme would be least problematic, or at least not look like other existing comment conventions?
PS: I’m told a double hypen “–” in comments sometimes breaks rendering.
You need at least
<!-- -->to have a comment, and yes, you should avoid having “–” in the middle of the comment; the “–” are the actual comment delimiters. Other than that, you can just prefix it with any string and I think you’ll be good — e.g.,<!--JEREMY_RUDD: -->.However, storing data in comments sounds like a suboptimal idea. Can you elaborate on this? Have you considered whether, say, something like JSON might not be more appropriate?
