# Creating a comment

Comments can be used to provide information about a document, such as the author's name, or the date it was last modified. Comments are visible to anyone reading the DTD, but are ignored by the XML parser.

To create a comment, follow these steps:

1. Open your DTD in the DTD editor.
2. In the Outline view, right-click the DTD and select Add Comment.
3. In the Properties view, type your comment.
