I am using Codeacademy to learn HTML. When in the module my font for my Codeacademy was reduced to the point that I cannot see the HTML. How can I increase the font in Codeacademy screens so I can read the code?

As far as I know, the LE is scalable so you can zoom the text size. If you find all the lessons to be similar, then in your browser you can set a default font size that is larger, to suit.

I am a beginer to this course and have few doubts
1.even if we are not using the element

text is being printed so why should we use this element
2.Also while using attributes like itemprop,itemscope etc i dont find any visible difference so what are the applications of such attributes
Thank you

pls what is the different between em tag and i tag?

<em/> provides both a visual emphasis (italicized text) AND an audible change of voice for aural emphasis. <i/> only changes the font style with no change of voice for screen readers.

We do not use EM just for style change, so if all one wants is italics, then use I not EM.

oh… I got it clearly now, thank you sir.

I love everything so far, great job :clap: but, how do I add a custom image(or icon) to my title bar. like that on most webpages’ title bar.

how do I make linked text appear like normal text and not green? the text is something that’s already obvious to users that it links to another page.

That’s called a Favicon! You would so something like this in your head tag.

<link rel="icon" href="some file page.png">

HI, Where can I find code for videos linked in " Instructions" section?


No one can access the other pages on the website. Any reason why?
