Will malformed comment tags affect indexing of text?
From Nicholas on 15 April '01

I recently found that neither google.com nor alltheweb.com are
indexing one of my web pages very well -- specifically, they are
not indexing a single word out of a 2 x 2 cell table which sits
half way down the page. *All* the words above and below that table
are being indexed just fine.
Poking around the HTML, I found this bit of carelessness in a
couple of comment tags:
<!--begin main table>
and
<!--end main table>
, where proper comment tags would be:
<!--begin main table-->
and
<!--end main table-->
Would that error have caused the spiders to ignore the text within
the table?
