Hello.

The result seems right, but you have to show the HTML part in order for me to help

3

wasnt sure how to post the html, so i did some - to make the code invalid

< -h4>Alphapet <-s>Google<-/s>

4

Do you have the </h4> Tag? Maybe that’s what’s making it fussy.

You post code on here by using three ` before and after the code you want to post.

5

<h4>Alphapet <s>Google</s></h4>

And the error i get is

// running tests
Include the word Alphabet in the h4 tag, without strikethrough formatting.
// tests completed

6

Oh! Alphabet is misspelled.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you 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 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.
