Very nicely done.

How did you get your html stuff to show up instead of being interpreted?

You have to put spaces in between it. If you type < space i space > then it will show up like < i > and won’t work to create HTML.

I’ve learned the hard way that HTML is persnickety and likes to be all cozily together.

I used the html abbreviations for the characters instead of the literals.

So instead of the < character, type in &lt; , and the > becomes &gt;.

So the <i> becomes &lt;i&gt; ...

(and to make it more confusing, in my text above, when I needed to SHOW you an ampersand, I had to TYPE &amp; and for the semicolons, I had to TYPE &#59; ).

Cheers!

< I >If you put spaces in the HTML code It will just be printed and not interpreted< /i >

No spaces in the code I used below

If you put spaces in the HTML code It will just be printed and not interpreted
