XF 2.1 How do I add comment to template so that comments are visible in html on rendered pages?

[Chromaniac]

I am trying to make some changes to a template. I want to add comments to the code that appears as HTML comments on the forum page code so that I can see where the code is being rendered. They seem to disappear on the rendered HTML. I am probably doing something stupid. Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks.

Do you use cloudflare? Cloudflare usually deletes all html comment, in its default setting.
