Example
Inline display elements, usually such as span or a, will include up to one white-space character before and after them in the document. In order to avoid very long lines in the markup (that are hard to read) and unintentional white-space (which affects formatting), the white-space can be commented out.
<!-- Use an HTML comment to nullify the newline character below: -->

Sometimes picking up the space character is desired.
