tag.

Treehouse TeacherTobias is correct. You're missing the closing tag. The entire code should be:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
</html>

Treehouse TeacherThis is the full code for step 2 which asks for the "root" html tag.

9,159 PointsWhich is your current Task number? The code you posted is not rly helping (and is wrong since you have no closing html element) DOCTYPE html is not an opening html element. Dont forget to close tags that need closing tags.
This is the code for the full challange...
