By default a space will be added before and after the given text. Use {{tjp|collapsed: yes}} to remove it (useful in vertical comments). For example,

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{subst:html comment|collapsed=yes|

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

}}</syntaxhighlight>

will generate

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><!--
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
--></syntaxhighlight>

This is a documentation subpage for Template:HTML comment.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:HTML comment}}).
Shortcut

Use this substitution to insert HTML comments (<!-- ... -->) – hidden to readers – into Misplaced Pages pages.

Usage

{{subst:html comment|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}}
↳ <!-- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet -->

By default a space will be added before and after the given text. Use collapsed=yes to remove it (useful in vertical comments). For example, 

{{subst:html comment|collapsed=yes|
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
}}

will generate 

<!--
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
-->

Notable cases

Using this substitution allows the expansion of MediaWiki commands inside HTML comments, which would be preserved verbatim otherwise. Compare:

{{subst:html comment|{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}}}
↳ <!-- Template:HTML comment -->

and:

<!-- {{subst:FULLPAGENAME}} -->
↳ <!-- {{subst:FULLPAGENAME}} -->
