Now put the existing contents of article_list.html, the {% for %} loop, into the block "content".

Im stuck i really have no idea what its asking me to do.

articles/templates/articles/article_list.html 
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% for %}
{% for article in articles %}
{{article.headline}} 
{% endfor %}

The endfor is associated with the '{% for article in articles %}' line, so you do not need the first {% for %}

What the challenge is asking you to wrap the existing for loop with a block tag that is named "content". This means adding the start block tag before the {% for .... %} and adding an endblock tag after the {% endfor %}.

The start block tag would be {% block content %} and the end block tag would be {% endblock %}
