HTML - Line Breaks Issue

I’ve been sitting on exercise 10 of 16 in the Learn HTML: Elements & Structure course for a few days. I’ve been following the instructions:

  1. Add two line breaks (
    ) after the sentence that ends with “Least Concern”.

My Answer:

<p>The brown bear (<em>Ursus arctos</em>) is native to parts of northern Eurasia and North America. Its conservation status is currently <strong>Least Concern</strong>. There are many subspecies <br> within the brown bear species, <br> including the Atlas bear and the Himalayan brown bear.</p>

And the error message is:
Did you add two line breaks after “Least Concern?”

The right-hand side showing your work and progress accepts the line breaks but the answer isn’t ticked complete. What am I doing incorrectly? I’ve tried applying the line breaks even further after least concern and still nothing, I’ve also tried resetting and retrying the task still nothing same problem and lastly I have submitted a bug report. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or even just point out bluntly what I cannot see.

Thank you for your time. :slight_smile:

The line breaks need to placed specifically where the exercise says so.

between Least Concern<strong> and . you need to place two line breaks

I have tried your suggestion and its still not working.

with that information, i can do absolutely nothing. Please copy paste your code to the forum as well as the exercise url, so i can run your code in the exercise to further diagnose the problem

Try putting both the line breaks before the ‘there’ in the sentence and after the full stop…
Leave a space between them.

Hope that helps!:smile:

I tried it like you suggested:


>  <p>The brown bear (<em>Ursus arctos</em>) is native to parts of northern Eurasia and North America. Its conservation status is currently <strong> Least <br> Concern</strong> <br> . There are many subspecies within the brown bear species, including the Atlas bear and the Himalayan brown bear.</p>

I really don’t know what I might be doing incorrectly, thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for your suggestion but I still keep getting the same error response, but It accepts the line breaks?

 <p>The brown bear (<em>Ursus arctos</em>) is native to parts of northern Eurasia and North America. Its conservation status is currently <strong> Least Concern</strong>. <br> There <br> are many subspecies within the brown bear species, including the Atlas bear and the Himalayan brown bear.</p>

you need to add two breaks elements after strong closing tag.

I’m sorry but I’m really trying and I really don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.

For this, the same applied what i said earlier, i can’t do much with it.

Please copy paste your full code and exercise url to the forum so i can have a look and run the code in the exercise

I apologies for that. I’m fully focused on what I’m doing now.

Did you insert the second line break after the sentence, like i told you?

The url is just for quick access to the lesson, if you make changes to your code you have to copy paste your code to the forum again

Thank you so much, I thought two line breaks meant <br> sentence then <br> duely noted for future. :slight_smile:

But the instruction state: after this sentence insert two line breaks. Which is literally what it means: two line breaks after a certain sentence.

What I said was exactly what you’ve done!
You didn’t get me, did you?:smirk::face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Why are you replying that to me? Didn’t you intent to reply this to @elouisea
