910 PointsText in "section" not showing up
When I try to add paragraph and headline text, it doesn't show up on the page. I have no idea hat I am doing wrong. The html looks correct.

Is that how it is supposed to look?
Dustin Matlock
33,856 PointsMichael, this is how you can post the code you have. The back tick is on the top left side of the keyboard next to the 1 key. You need 3 of those.
Michael Angelica
910 Pointsthe tags are not showing up for some reason

33,856 PointsAre you using the preview function in the editor on Treehouse? If so you might try creating an html file, pasting it in there and opening the file in your web browser. You have it coded correctly. Of course you will need more things to complete a web page but what you have should still show up in a web browser. Perhaps the editor on Treehouse needs to be refreshed.

910 PointsThanks Dustin
Michael Angelica
910 PointsYeah i m using preview. I ll give it a try. They have been having bugs perhaps on the site. Everything else shows up fine. Thank you.
