Hi! First because every thing in HTML is Markup (so, use <...>). Second, we use "!" to indicate to browsers that is an information tag (don't need to write in the page, like in <!doctype html>). Third, yes some peoples decided that is better to use "--" at end than "//" or "/* ... */" (probably to not make any confusion… but who knows ?)
