Courses Plus Student 2,026 Pointsif 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.

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>

Courses Plus Student 2,026 PointsI'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.

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