Comment lines are supposed to start with <!. And they are
by default in the color grey. Well, I discovered by
accident that when I changed words in grey that also began
with <! the page changed. These lines WERE NOT comments.
What gives? How am I supposed to know what are comments
and what is regular code?

Many FrontPage and 3rd-party components save settings and
other information as HTML comments.

FrontPage component settings usually appear in comments
that begin <!--webbot bot=. 3rd-party products have their
own conventions.
