At exporting a LaTeX file to HTML via tex4ht I have to write some HTML comments to the HTML source. So I would like to write the HTML code in the LaTeX file and let tex4ht export it directly. How can I achieve this? Are there some special LaTeX commands to do this?

I found a solution: \HCode{<!--comment-->} but now I can't export to pdf any more. Is there a way to mask out this tex4ht command for other latex interpreters? – raulix Jun 9 '11 at 22:03

\def\HCode#1{} should disable the command. – Caramdir Jun 9 '11 at 22:31
raulix: You should add that (with Caramdir's comment) as an answer so that others who look for this will see that it has an answer. – Andrew Stacey Jun 10 '11 at 7:05

you can also use ifpdf if you're using pdf(la)tex or ifxetex if you're using XeTeX. – ℝaphink Jun 10 '11 at 7:52

\def\HCode#1{}
...
\begin{document}
...
\HCode{<!--comment-->}

It works. tex4ht writes the comment and pdflatex ignores the tag. Fine.
