what is a <style> tag?

I am being asked to add my style tag and I believe my code is correct?

<style> h1 { color:Navy; } </style> <body> <h1>Tony CNCP</h1> </body>

A style tag is a way to include CSS directly in your HTML. What you have there is pure HTML so it's basically asking you to add a style to it using the <style> tag. Take another look and see if it mentions some CSS at any point. That's what you're looking for.

<style> </style> tag is the HTML tag that includes CSS code within it. It is used to design your webpage using CSS. It is basically written in between <head> </head> section but you can write it in between <body> </body> tag also. Refer W3Schools

Hi Tony,

I think your being asked to add a style tag to some part of your html, you need to do as follows:

 <head>
    <style>
<!-- I have added this between the head tags but check the Q, to see where you need to add it -->
    </style>
 </head>

Hope this helps.

I just worked through the challenge, and in the end my code looked like this:

<body>
  <style>
    h1 {
      color: green;
    }
  </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Is there a reason you are using color: Navy; ? When I did this, it said to set the color to green.
