# writing HTML "comments" in page HTML code causing a space

 * When I add an HTML comment <!–Example Comment–> into the code section for a page,
   it automatically pushes down a line in the code. For example, if I do this: `
   </div><!--Example Comment-->` it ends up automatically doing this:
 *     ```
       </div>
       <!--Example Comment-->
       ```
   
 * The “HTML comment” doesn’t stay on the same line that I put it on (it bumps down
   to the next line). It then pushes my next line of code down and in turn adds 
   a space.
 * Is there any way to stop this from happening?

 * I find it strange that it does this. There must be a way to prevent this from
   dropping down to the next line. I hope so anyways 🙂
