CSS small challenge

Hi! I can't seem to get passed this problem and when looking at the preview it looks like I have succeeded in completing the task however when checking it says its wrong.The problem reads: Create a new rule that tackles the span element within the intro and set it with a bold font weigh and an italic font style.

Can you help me?

Thanks!

Hi Inaki,

Your code works, but this is not what the challenge is asking for and is not the best way to do this. Remove the exercise class from your code as it is not needed.

Instead create a rule that targets a span element within the intro class like so:

.intro span
