A DOM comment node stores comment character data in the Document Object Model. In HTML source, a normal comment can be written as
<!-- note -->; parsing it produces a comment node rather than a DOM element or a DOM text node containing visible words.[ref]DOM Standard by WHATWG. §4.14, Comment interface and character data
[ref]For example,
<p>A<!-- note -->B</p> gives the paragraph three child DOM nodes: a text node containing A, a comment node, and a text node containing B. Its childNodes.length is three, while its element-only children.length is zero. Its textContent is AB: the comment does not contribute to this descendant-text result.[ref]DOM Standard by WHATWG. Node.textContent, descendant text content; ParentNode.children
A traversal over every child can consequently encounter nodes absent from an element-only traversal. A DOM comment node can be inserted, moved or removed while editing the DOM tree, although it produces no ordinary displayed text. Removing the comment in this example leaves two adjacent text nodes; adjacency alone does not merge their object identities.
Comments are not a way to keep information secret from someone receiving a document: their data remains in the supplied source or document model. When generating comments, obey HTML's syntax rather than assuming arbitrary text can always be placed between the delimiters.
A DOM document fragment is a DOM node that can hold a sequence of other DOM nodes without being a document element. Inserting an ordinary fragment into another node inserts its children in order; it does not insert the fragment itself as a wrapper.[ref]
For example, let
const f = document.createDocumentFragment(); and append two newly created paragraph DOM elements to f. Each paragraph's parent is now f. If an empty section element s receives s.appendChild(f), the section has the two paragraphs as children and f.childNodes.length is zero. The paragraph objects have moved; neither a fragment wrapper nor two automatically cloned paragraphs appear.Hyperinsulinism is excessive or inappropriately sustained insulin action or secretion for the metabolic context. In hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia, insulin secretion is insufficiently suppressed as blood glucose falls. Insulin promotes glucose utilization and storage while restraining endogenous glucose production, so the combination can lower the circulating glucose supply. [ref]
Familial Hyperinsulinism Caused by an Activating Glucokinase Mutation by Benjamin Glaser and others. 1998, familial mutation, increased glucokinase activity and altered glucose sensing
The activating glucokinase mutation provides a mechanistic example: changing the beta-cell glucose-sensing system shifts the conditions under which insulin is released. A measured insulin concentration must therefore be interpreted alongside the simultaneous glucose state. A concentration that is unremarkable after a meal can be inappropriate during hypoglycaemia; a single universal numerical cutoff does not describe the whole mechanism.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
Figure 2. You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either OurBigBook.com or as a static website.Figure 3. Visual Studio Code extension installation.Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
