Hey Shawn! I just wanted to mention, in addition to what Steve said, that you can also find the answer here in the Build Structure video around 2:20 and in the teachers notes for that video. Reviewing videos and notes can be a big help when you're stuck, especially since the quiz and challenge answers can typically be found there.

Keep up the awesome work!

Hi Shawn,

That's the html tag:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html></html>

Make sense?

Steve.
