Hello!
Every time I press (“less than” → “<”) i can’t see the symbol, I see only a red character until I close the tag. For me, this is very annoying. Is it possible to disable the feature which markes the “less than” with red?
See what I mean in this image:
The closing tags keep the html contents in place to avoid problem or going over into other content.
Slide 5 would be improved if there was an actual example of what an anchor tag is. It isn’t that clear.

I agree! This is exactly what I came to this forum to find.
anchor element (or a
)
<a>I'm an anchor element.</a>
opening tag is <a>
← it starts the a
element.
closing tag is </a>
← it ends the a
element.
make the space between tags and content…maybe thats why it shows red
the exercises in page five were already answered??. I don’t know if I had to do something, even thought it was asked to.
i.e. Put an opening and closing h1
tag around the text that says Jetsetter Travel Agency
.
in the code it is already with the tags

I have the same problem! It won’t let me continue until I do it, and it’s already done.
same here! I mean, you just need to click “Run” and the tasks will be marked as completed, but what’s the point if the exercise is already done?

lol they should check that
Hi,
I am having issues in progressing to the ‘next step’. After I put my code in and click ‘run’, the web browser doesn’t load. is there any way I can fix this?
help is greatly appreciated.
The browser will not know where the element ends and it will render an unexpected result.
