Step 1: As you learned in the last few steps of the Cat Photo App, there is a basic structure needed to start building your web page.

Add the <!DOCTYPE html> tag, and an html element with a lang attribute of en.

can you please insert your code line, so we can see where we can help you

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

You need a closing tag for your html. Closing tags look like </> except that the element you are closing needs to go after the slash

thanks for feedback and advice.
i tried all of these below;

<html>lang='en'</html>

<html lang='en'>

<html>lang'en'</html>

<html> lang='en' </html>

i also skipped to the next task and it wont work there either…

<html>lang='en'</html>

Test
Sorry, your code does not pass. You’re getting there.

Hint
Your html element should have an opening tag with a lang attribute of en.

8 

<html lang='en'>

This is the closest you have been. Wheres your closing html tag here? And doctype

9 
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html> lang='en'>

as soon as i put it like this the color of lang=‘en’ cganges to black. and dont work. been busy with this for hours, start thinking its an error on the task?

10

I still dont see a closing html tag. You can look back at my comment on how you add a closing tag


<html> lang='en'>

This is wrong. I already pointed out what the correct one was

11

which one do you say is correct
1

<html lang='en'</html>

or 2

<html> lang='en'</html>
12

Neither. Number one is the closest, but you are still missing a > before your closing html tag

13

the second one has >

<html> lang='en'</html>
14

But its not correct…as I said above number one is the closest. The one you just posted is not close to being right

It might be helpful for you to look at this
