Code challenge HTML Forms

Can anyone explain why the following code won't work? The challenge asks me to 'Add a paragraph tag that has some text inside of it bolded.'

It keeps telling me to recheck my work, but from what I can see my code is correct.

Many thanks 

<div>
  <h2>Shopping List</h2>
  <ol>
    <li>Bread</li>
    <li>Milk</li>
    <li>Cheese</li>  
  </ol>

<p>Bold <b>text</b></p> </div>

</body>

What's up Jordan.

The questions asks you add a "paragraph" tag <p> that has some bold text inside of it <strong>

Your code above only has: <div> <h2>Shopping List</h2> <ol> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ol> </div>

Inside of the containing <div> </div>

You should insert the <p><strong>Around Your Text</strong></p>

Hope that helps.

You're basically missing the paragraph tag inside of the div.....markdown didn't work for me the first time

I used <p> tags in addition to <b> tags around the containing text

If it,s for the code challange it,s important to remember to close all the tags :

The code should be working, but it is missing a closing </div> tag in the end of the code :

<div> <h2>Shopping List</h2> <ol> <li>Bread</li> <li>Milk</li> <li>Cheese</li>
</ol>
</div> </div>
