The <noembed>Ta g

<noembed></noembed>

The <noembed>tag is not part of the W3C XHTML 1.0 specification but it is included

here because it was often used in the past. The <noembed>tag is a container tag. It can

appear after an <embed />tag to provide alternate content that may be used by

browsers or assistive technologies such as screen readers.

The Comment Tag

<!--your comment goes here -->

The comment tag is special in that anything between the opening <!--and the closing

-->is considered to be a comment and is ignored by the browser. This tag can be used

to document and describe XHTML.
