Asked to indent the first line of my paragraph by 50px. Entered
p::first-line {text-indent: 50px;}
and it doesn't take it.

p{
text-indent:50px;
}

2,031 PointsReally? Huh. Why would it say "first line of the paragraph" then? That's just so confusing...

19,201 PointsI guess it could be confusing but that's what the text-indent property is used for.
From Mozilla Developer Network: The text-indent CSS property specifies how much horizontal space should be left before the beginning of the first line of the text content of an element.

2,031 PointsIt was my mistake really, I didn't see it that way. I thought the challenge was mixing up exercises.
I'm a bit burnt out, thank you so much for helping out!
