How do I add notes to html?

  • Whenever I try to add a note in html, such as: <note>, the WordPress software just deletes it. How do I leave notes for myself?

  • I’ve never heard of the <note> tag.
    I don’t think that exists and I think that’s why it’s being stripped out.
    Maybe try using <small> instead.

    There isn’t a note tag that I’m aware of. But if you type <this is a note> then it won’t show up on a webpage. It works when I can upload my own webpages, but I’m trying to do this through WordPress because it’s been so many years since I’ve done it the other way that I forgot how.

    WordPress strips out a lot of HTML tag to ensure that the code is good and thus better for search engine and what not, so I don’t think that adding anything like that will work.

    The correct way to do notes in HTML is like this:

    <!-- Your note goes in here! -->

    BUT… Even those do get stripped out by the WordPress system, so they won’t help you either if you’re adding content thorugh the editor.

    The big question is why do you want notes in the page like that when they can’t be read?
