Hi... I'm at the fourth step in "Styling the Intro Paragraph" and I can not pass

Requirement: Create a new rule that targets the span element inside .intro. Give the span element a bold font weight and an italic font style.

.intro span{
font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}

Bummer: Make sure you're selecting the intro class, and setting an em font-size value equal to 20px.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p>
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
      </p>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
      <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>
  </body>

Good job, Marius!

Can you post, specifically, what you did to solve it? Other students could benefit from your experience. Thanks!

nope ... my mistake was that, I wrote everything in the same rule instead of being written in two separate rules you do not see "intro" because I reopened the page after I closed it ... so the code was reset WRONG

.intro span{
font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}

CORRECT

.intro{
font-size: 1.25em;
line-heigh: 1.6;
}
.intro span{
 font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}
