HTML Introduction to HTML and CSS (2016) HTML: The Structural Foundation of Web Pages and Applications Test: Create an Unordered List

Add three list item tags to the unordered list, and list three places you have visited or would like to visit.

I got the Challenge Task 1 of 2 correct, but can't seem to get this one.

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>List Example</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>Paris</ul>
    <ul>London</ul>
      </ul>Berlin</ul>
  </body>
</html>

Hey Augusto Hernandes!

You're formatting your list wrong. See my code below for an explanation, and correct formatting:

<ul> <!-- Begin the unordered list -->
    <li>Paris</li> <!-- List item - single item within a list -->
    <li>London</li>
    <li>Berlin</li>
</ul> <!-- End the unordered list -->

So a <ul> tells the browser "Hey, this is an unordered list". Each <li> inside is a List Item (Hence the li). This means each <li> will have a bullet point next to it, and is interpreted as something separate, in this case, places you've visited.

Hope this helps! Ash
