Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsI think you are trying to do more than what is being asked. When it comes to the challenges they do not want extra stuff or you will get it wrong. I had to guess on this due to the HTML ROOT wording, but I got the answer right so I can explain. The <HTML></HTML> tages must represent the ROOT. or the language we are establishing.
Heres what your code should look like for this step of the challenge:
<!DOCTYPE html> <HTML></HTML>
