Tell us what’s happening:

My test is not passing even though I am getting the desired result.
Please guide me if there is a problem in my regex or anything else.

what tests are you failing? what have you tried to debug that?

3

The tests won’t pass until you handle all of the HTML elements the instructions are asking you to convert. You’ve only attempted to convert the h1 element.

4

yes I am doing it, this regex feels very tough to me :frowning:

5

I have done all tasks required till test 5, but test 2 and 4 not passing

updated code-

const userInput = document.getElementById("markdown-input");
const html = document.getElementById("html-output");
const preview = document.getElementById("preview");

const convertMarkdown = () => {
  let input= userInput.value;
  let regexh1 = /^#\s+(\w+)\s+(\d)/gi;
  let replacement = input.replace(regexh1, "$1 $2");
  let test = regexh1.test(input);
  if(test) {
    html.innerText = `<h1>${replacement}</h1>`;
  preview.innerText = `<h1>${replacement}</h1>`;
  }
  else {
    html.innerText = input;
    preview.innerText = input;
  }
}

userInput.addEventListener("input", convertMarkdown);

I did what it is said in test 2 but it is not passing and in test 4, it is said- When the value of #markdown-input is # title 1, an h1 element with the text of title 1 should be appended as a child of #preview.

How to append this like a child, in previous project I learnt I can append any element like a child inside a parent element like a div inside a div, but I don’t know what to do here ?

Just work on one problem at a time. Trying to explain 2 tests feedback in one sentence is too much.

Focus on one at a time.

What is the feedback on test 2? Errors, hints?

Can you show how your code fulfills the requirement of test 2?

I am very sorry :frowning:
I am feeling very confused and overwhelmed, I was away for few weeks due to my exams and I forgot many things. I will be back to this lesson after some time.

I want to revise previous topics once.

Ok, but remember to just focus on one problem at a time. This can help when you are feeling overwhelmed.

It’s easier to focus your energy and fix one problem.

Worry about the next problem only after the first one is done.
