Comments are <!-- any text -->. But most browsers will also treat <! any text> as comment, although it isn't official syntax.
From HTML5 standard:
Comments must have the following format:
The string <!--
Optionally, text, with the additional restriction that the text must not start with the string >, nor start with the string ->, nor contain the strings <!--, -->, or --!>, nor end with the string <!-.
The string -->
A DOCTYPE must consist of the following components, in this order:
A string that is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string <!DOCTYPE.
One or more space characters.
A string that is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string html.
Optionally, a DOCTYPE legacy string.
Zero or more space characters.
A U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN character (>).
