The forum uses markdown to correctly format code, check out this thread on how to type code in the forum for some examples.

Treehouse TeacherHi, looks like you put some HTML in your forum post. You need to do that in a special way. To put HTML/CSS/JavaScript in a forum post:
hit return to create a new line and type three back tick characters ```
hit return to create another new line and paste your HTML
hit return and add three more back tick characters: ``` The back tick character isn't the same as the single quote -- ' -- mark; the back tick is located on the same key as the ~ on most keyboards.
Also to add correct color highlighting add the name of the language after the back ticks like this: ```CSS. Here's what CSS should look like in a forum post:
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
}
I've gone ahead and fixed that in your initial question, but keep this in mind when you need to ask another question and put HTML/CSS/JavaScript in it.

What does <div id>
mean exactly?
We saw:
What is exactly mean?

The word exactly means very accurate. You could say tell me exactly what your friend told you. That would mean telling me every word you friend told you without leaving anything out.
