Uncommenting a tag

HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening: stuck on uncommenting tags. This is where I am stuck.

Your code so far


<!--
<h1>Hello World</h1>

<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>

<p>Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff.</p>
-->
<!--Hello World--><!--CatPhotoApp-->

Hi @sedav48, welcome to the freeCodeCamp forum! :wave:t3:

Comments start with the character sequence <!-- and end with the --> character sequence.

If I had the following HTML:

<h1>My Heading</h1>
<p>This is my paragraph.</p>

If I wanted to comment out the header (h1) element I would “wrap” it with the start and end character sequences for a comment, meaning I would add <!-- just before the h1’s start tag and add --> after the h1’s end tag, as follows:

<!-- <h1>My Heading</h1> -->
<p>This is my paragraph.</p>

I could have put those on separate lines as well:

<!-- 
<h1>My Heading</h1> 
-->
<p>This is my paragraph.</p>

To uncomment the h1 element I would just remove those character sequences, as it was in the original example:

<h1>My Heading</h1>
<p>This is my paragraph.</p>

Hopefully with that explanation it will help you to understand what is needed in that challenge. If you need further hints please post a reply here.
