Tell us what’s happening:
Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong here? It says my html element needs a closing tag even though it is there or how else do I close it?
Your code so far
<!-- User Editable Region -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="eng">

Challenge: Learn CSS Colors by Building a Set of Colored Markers - Step 1
I’ve tried all variation I can think of but none of them work. when I do this : ‘ lang=“eng”’ the values inside the element get greyed out. When I do this ‘<html lang=“eng”’ the html in the closing tag becomes red and the code doesn’t pass still, the reason I didn’t put a closing tag before is because I thought html elements are self-closing. Here is what the challenge says; As you’ve seen in the previous projects, webpages should start with a DOCTYPE html declaration, followed by an html element.
Add a DOCTYPE html declaration at the top of the document, and an html element after that. Give the html element a lang attribute with en as its value.
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.
Hello!
It appears there is a bit of misunderstanding with the instructions for this step.
At one point, the solution was almost there. However, the closing html element was being inserted within the opening html element, instead of two separate opening and closing elements.
Think of it as one html element needs the final > before starting the closing element.
