if I add comments after <style> tag it stopes to use h1 style rule... why is it so?

e.g. <style>

<!--This part is to make my text brighter.-->

h1 {text-align: center; color: purple } h2 {text-align: center; color: coral} h3 {text-align: center; color: brown} h4 {text-align: center; color: blue} </style>

but ir correctly uses all other prescriptions. in case I delete the comment, h1 will be used.

Can you post an example?

Is it possible that you're forgetting to close the comment tag? A proper comment should look like this:

/* Comment */

You didn't share any code, but I'd guess you may have used the wrong type of comment.

:point_right: Within the style area, you need to use CSS-style comments.

<!-- this is an HTML-style comment (use when outside the style area) -->
<style> /* this is a CSS-style comment (use this kind inside the style area) */
</style>

I've tried /* Comment */ to pick out the comments and it works fine now.

thank you so much for your answer)) but previously I've tried <!-- comment--> signs as it was in the video... may be there are some difference between comments at the very beggining of the code and in the style part.
