I have typed <h1 style="color: white;">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
It is acting like the h1 element isn't closed and like style isn't recognized because "style" isn't a different color like it was when I typed the <body style="background...etc. element.

Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions 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.

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 15,616 PointsCan you post your whole code? I am wondering if there is something in the style section. In the online tutorial, he spends some time doing internal styling to compare how it interacts with inline styling which should over-ride it. Maybe when translating the examples, you've got something going on? From what I see you typed the same thing as what is in the course. So it would be helpful to see this in the larger context. Be sure to use the Markdown Cheatsheet to make your copy past of code show up as HTML.
