.intro span { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }
this lets you specifically target any span elements inside the intro class

6,307 PointsThank you. What should HTML look like? I added a class= but it still didn't work. I keep getting a response to not use a class in the CSS.

6,702 PointsOkay, so if you have a look at my HTLM section in the pictures above, there is a <p class="intro"> make sure its the same as that. that is the first challenge. and then head to the stylesheet and insert: .intro { font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; } and then .intro span { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } and this should take you to the last challenge. i hope this helps, as i just re-did this challenge to make sure and it works.

.intro { font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; } .intro span { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }

6,702 Pointsyour code looks fine, and that is pretty much what you have to do to get past the challenges. Is your HTML section correct tho?
