I REALLY Don't Get it...

I don't understand why my code isn't working for this exercise: Finally, inside the p rule, include the mixin that applies trailing whitespace while maintaining vertical rhythm. - Bummer! Make sure you're including the correct mixin inside the p rule.

Here's my code:

@import "compass/typography";

@include establish-baseline ($base-font-size);

h1 {
  @include adjust-font-size-to(48px);
  margin-bottom: rhythm(1);
}

h2 {
  @include adjust-font-size-to(36px);
  margin-bottom: rhythm(1);
}

p {
  $rhythm-unit: $base-line-height; 
}

Thank you,

Amil

Hi Amilcar,

I fixed your code formatting. You want to use 3 backticks and they need to be on their own lines with a blank line before the opening backticks and after the closing ones.

On that last part it looks like you want to include the trailer mixin. This will add trailing space.

@include trailer();

The parentheses are optional if you're not passing in any arguments.

Hi Jason and Amilcar,

I'm still having trouble getting past this lesson. Can you be more specific with the opening back ticks?

thank you

Hey Tyler,

They look just like this: ``` - All you have to do is place them at the top and the bottom of your code, if that makes any sense - Good luck... P :)
