how?!?

So im a little confused on this, im a beginner. How am i supposed to place things within format? Like, after i put in the header, do i hit return and then tab to space it? Or will it automatically format it? Any tips would be very helpful. Thank you.

depends on the ide. whitespace in html is ignored. so it all becomes about readability for the (person) editor. there is a generally accepted convention that each major section gets a new line (<head>, <title> <body>) and things like table rows n junk get tabs. ((pretty sure this is still the thing todo.. havent html'd in forever)) but at the end of the day. this is upto you. remember though readability!

Like this. <body> <p>your text inside a paragraph tag</p> </body> Keep using the codes as you got through the course. I will start to make more sense, as you practice using it.

The feature may be only on the app, as strange as it sounds.

@John The app has a feature that tests you're abilities called challenges. On google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sololearn

@John headers? what are you working on? in the html course you start by placing your content in the body. And only a title in the head. Headers are thought in the html5 section.

@John if you like @Jay's answer, try selecting the checkmark next to it.
