Rails, leaving comments in application.html.erb

Question

I dont know why i cant leave comments , they show up on my website, p.s, I dont really know anything about code, just following a template for fun

I currently dont have a website or email to link to, so i tried to leave a comment to block examples so they dont show up on my page, but they do

<ul>
       <li class="category">Social</li>

      #<li><a href="https://website.com">WebsiteName</a></li>

      #<li><a href="mailto:name@name.com">MyEmail</a></li>
</ul>

Thanks everyone the works – noobtestnoob Apr 16 '15 at 15:06 — noobtestnoob, Apr 16 '15 at 15:06

If it is plain html, the way to comment a line is:

<!-- li><a href="https://website.com">WebsiteName</a></li -->

See The Importance of Correct HTML Commenting for more details.

If it is ruby code in the view, the way to comment a line is:

<%# This is a great comment! %>

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/2774858/429758 for details.
