Build a Markdown to HTML Converter - Build a Markdown to HTML Converter

Tell us what’s happening:

I am working on the Markdown Previewer project. I am passing most tests, but I am consistently failing requirements 4, 9, and 34. These relate to the H1 and H2 headers and the nested bold text within an H1.
Even though my #preview looks correct visually, the test suite is not acknowledging the elements. I suspect it might be a whitespace issue or the order of my regex replacements.

Your code so far

Hi @wahyuniharries

The updated CSS is causing the tests to fail.
