Technical Documentation Page - Build a Technical Documentation Page

Tell us what’s happening:
2 tests aren’t passing. They are as follows:

  1. Each .main-section should have an id that matches the text of its first child, having any spaces in the child’s text replaced with underscores (_ ) for the id’s.

  2. Each .nav-link should have an href attribute that links to its corresponding .main-section (e.g. If you click on a .nav-link element that contains the text “Hello world”, the page navigates to a section element with that id).
    As best as I can tell the only section that doesn’t doesn’t navigate to its main section is the Design Philsophy Section. Here is the code so far on that section:

    ** <li><a class="nav-link"  href="#Design_Philosophy">Design Philosophy</a>
    
Design Philosophy

Python uses dynamic typing that combines with reference counting and cycle-detecting garbage collection that aids in memory management.

Its design does offer limited support for functional programming in the LISP tradition.

     <p>Python is intended to be an easily readable language and utilizes white space instead of curly brackets or keywords to delimit blocks.</p>
     <p>Python has the usual arithmetic operators but when it comes to division there are two types of division in Python. Namely floor division (or integer division) and floating point division.</p>

    <li> Area of a Triangle</li>
    <ul>Mathematical formula: Area of a triangle = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))-1/2
    <p> Here is the semi-perimeter and a, b and c are three sides of the triangle. Let's understand the following example</p>
    
    <li> Three sides of the triangle is a, b and c:</li>
    <code>  
    a = float(input('Enter first side: '))  
    b = float(input('Enter second side: '))  
    c = float(input('Enter third side: '))  
    </code> 
    <li> calculate the semi-perimeter </li> 
    <code> s = (a + b + c) / 2 </code> 
     
    <li> calculate the area</li>  
    <code> area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5  
    print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area) </code>

     <p>Python has a large standard library that is suited to many different tasks. For Internet-facing applications, Python supports standard protocols such as MIME and HTTP.</p>
     <p>The libraries also include modules for creating graphical user interfaces, connecting to relational databases, pseudo-random numbers, and unit testing just to name a few.</p>
     <p>Parts of the libraries are covered with specifications one example is Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI Covered by PEP 333).</p>
     <p>Most libraries, however, are specified by their code, internal documentation, and test suites.</p>

    Challenge: Technical Documentation Page - Build a Technical Documentation Page

    Link to the challenge:

    Does your main-sections match the id’s given to the .nav-link ?
    also your li elements dont have closing tags

    Hi!
    I advise you run your code though a html validator. I’m seeing a lot of syntax errors particularly in regards to list elements.

    I’d advise reading up on them.

    I’m also not seeing a <head> or <body> element. These are important and should be present. Review the new responsive design course section Learn Basic CSS by Building a Cafe Menu. That goes though the structuring of a HTML head element and what needs to be inside it.

    Found the problem. It was a misplaced hashtag. Thanks for your help
