Seems it's broken

The parser won’t let me move forward, even though I’ve met all the very simple requirements.

Not sure what to do from here.

We will need to see your code.

To 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.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Note: Backticks are not single quotes.

Here you go:

<main>

On line 1. There’s no line 0 or line negative 1 that I can put those six characters on. Instructions clearly state should be the first thing, and so it is.

It’s there, on the very first line, as the instructions instruct, but the parser rejects it.

Probably what we’re looking at is a lack of cross-browser testing. Yes, I’m using an older computer. MacOS 10.13.6

Working in Safari. This is probably happening to other people, I’m just the one complaining.

Well that’s interesting. The forum platform threw out my HTML code.

I’m starting to see the attention to detail that leads to this being such a useful tool.

Here’s my code:

less than sign and then “main” followed by greater than sign

That’s the code that breaks your python parser.

It’s HTML, not Python. Anyway, can you please post the code that you’ve written that is failing (following the instructions @RandellDawson provided). Rather than trying to describe it, it’s a lot easier to just copy paste that actual code you’ve written. Plus that means it’s a lot easier to provide help, because we can then see it

Once again (read the very clear instructions we are giving you instead of making sarky comments):
