How to comment HTML in PowerApps?

(0) Share

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Working with HTML in PowerApps can be quite challenging for me due to all the " " " 's and " & " 's. To make my HTML more portable and reusable, I'd like to comment the code.

Unfortunately, HTML comments written as "  " do not seem to work.
Neither does PowerApps comments written as " // comment " nor multiline PowerApps comments written as:

/* multi-
line
comment/
*

Does anyone have a nice method for commenting HTML that I may be missing?

Thank you

Wow, I feel silly! Why did I think that was not working? I must have been looking for it to turn "green" like a PowerApp comment.

My apologies. 🙂

Notice that you can also use "PowerApps comments" if you break down the string (HTML) into multiple parts (and combine them with the & operator or the Concatenate function:
