# Syntax

> Liquid syntax tags in Shoplazza themes: comment, which keeps an expression from being output, and raw, for outputting Liquid markup as plain text.

Syntax tags control how Liquid code is processed and rendered.

## comment

Prevents an expression from being rendered or output.

Any text inside `comment` tags won't be output, and any Liquid code will be parsed, but not executed.

```liquid title="Syntax"
{% comment %}
  content
{% endcomment %}
```

* `content`: The content of the comment.

## raw

Outputs any Liquid code as text instead of rendering it.

```liquid title="Syntax"
{% raw %}
  expression
{% endraw %}
```

* `expression`: The expression to be output without being rendered.

```liquid title="Code"
{% raw %}
  {{ 8 | times: 2 }} equals 16.
{% endraw %}
```

```html title="Output"
{{ 8 | times: 2 }} equals 16.
```
