HTML-CSS

Doesn’t make sense why this is not working at all:

Your code so far


<style>
  h4 {
    text-align: center;
    height: 25px;
  }
   p {
   text-align: justify; 
  }
  .links {
    text-align: left;
    color: black;
  }
  .fullCard {
    width: 245px;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    border-radius: 5px;
    margin: 10px 5px;
    padding: 4px;
  }
  .cardContent {
    padding: 10px;
  }
  .cardText {
    margin-bottom: 30px;
  }
</style>
<div class="fullCard">
  <div class="cardContent">
    <div class="cardText">
      <h4>Google</h4>
     
      <em><p>Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were <u>Ph.D. students</u> at <strong>Stanford University</strong>.</em>
        </p> 
    </div>
    <div class="cardLinks">
      <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Page" target="_blank" class="links">Larry Page</a><br><br>
      <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Brin" target="_blank" class="links">Sergey Brin</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

just curious, where you trying to emphasize the whole paragraph? Or just some words in it?

Everyone is confused between using inline and block level elements.
First one should read and understand the difference between the above said then HTML is easy to write semantic code.

4

if you were trying to emphasize the whole paragraph then make sure your start and end <em> occur in consistent places.
Right now you have them like this:

<em>
<p>...some words
</em>
</p>

but what you want is to match them up like this:
<em>
<p>...some words
</p>
</em>

But only if you want to emphasize the *whole* paragraph.

HTML tags should normally be nested within each other to maintain proper structure:

<p><em></em></p> and not <em><p></em></p>

Also, the <em> tag should usually be applied to a single word, not multiple words. More info here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/em
