Same thing is happening to me. No matter what I do, it doesn’t identify it as self-closed

For this, ask yourself… what is a “self-closing” tag? It should have been covered.

If you search the forum, this has been encountered a few times. TLDR: the / on the closing > is optional for self closing elements, but this one test is expecting it.

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
