I am trying to comment internal CSS code as shown in the below image, but it's not working for me. If I comment this way, my code is still working on the site.

Is this is the right way to put comments for internal CSS code?

I tried /* */, but it didn't work for me.

Use /* */, not <!-- -->.

The second type is HTML, not CSS. The use of HTML comments is a hack having to do with some Microsoft browser and does not work as you might expect it to do.

Use /* ... */ to comment in CSS:

main {
    /* width: 100%; */
    width: 100px;
}

Are you sure the /* */ don't work? It is working for me:

<html>
<body>
<style>
p { font-size: 2em;}
/*
p { margin:5em;}
*/
p { color: red; }
</style>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
</html>

OK, but still this can be accepted as an answer because this is just correct coding.
@Krant avoid asking questions in your answers, such as Have you tried?, Are you sure?. If you edit your answer and make it look like a real answer, people may upvote your posts.
The OP has already said that that commenting style didn't work...why we don't know.
