ideas on why my <h2> tags make my code not show up?

When I include <h2> tags in my sentence string, it does not print to the page, but when I exclude the <h2> tags it prints like its supposed to. Does anyone have ideas on why this is happening?

Without seeing the code I can only guess, but perhaps there are some styles applied to H2 elements that would affect the display?

Here is an (admittedly frivolous) example:

h2 { display: none; }

Share your code (or a link to a workspace snapshot) to enable a more pertinent answer.

Although it wont be clear unless the code is shared. In addition to Steve's suggestion. Also check if you have closed the <h2> tag using </h2>. Headline tags are not self-closing. A typical example of h2 tag is: <h2>Hello</h2>
