Quiz Challenge.. Help!

All of my code works absolutely fine but when I try to make my alerts pop up I want it to take form of a paragraph, strong text. Although when I put my code just like he has done it in the video, it continuously shows the p tag and strong tag along with my text. I don't want the tags to show i want it to enlarge my text. Help?

here is my code 

var score = 0;

var basketball = prompt("What team does Carmelo Anthony play for?");
if ( basketball.toUpperCase() === "KNICKS" ) {
  alert("Correct!");
  score += 1;
} else if ( basketball.toUpperCase() === "NEW YORK KNICKS") {
  alert("Correct!");
  score += 1;
} else {
  alert("Sorry, wrong answer.");
}
var teenWolf = prompt("Name the MTV show that is focused around teenage wolves.");

Matthew Alesci - unfortunately, you can't use HTML tags in JavaScript alert boxes. It looks like they are using "document.write" in the video rather than "alert"
