What is indent?

i went back to creating catphotoapp after seeing the new html. in step six ,i was told to indent h2, comment and p but i don’t know how to. please someone should put me through.

indenting is simply adding spaces before something to place it further into the code than something else. It looks like this:

<body>
  <!-- This line and the line below are indented 2 spaces -->
  <h1>A Header :0</h1>
</body>

Does that make sense?

please is it by using enter to create the space or commenting?

it’s using the space, not the enter key

i used the space and on checking my code,its showing me this:
Your h2 element should be below the main element’s opening tag and its opening tag should start 6 spaces over from the start of the line.

count how many white spaces are present at the start of the line, make sure there are six!

       <h2>Cat Photos</h2>
          <!-- TODO: Add link to cat photos -->
          <p>Click here to view more cat photos.</p>

please take a look at the above. i counted six spaces at the start of the line that is before ‘h2’, comment and ‘p’ and it gave me this:
Your h2 element should be below the main element’s opening tag and its opening tag should start 6 spaces over from the start of the line.
what do you think?
