Try it on Codepen and you’ll see!

As to why that’s the case, it’s to do with a concept in CSS called specificity. At the most basic level, this means that IDs take precedence over classes, which take precedence over tags.

Hi,

Use the preformatted text option (from the top tool box in chat box)

or use:

```
     type in your code here
```

Then your code will be visible.
