--description--

You can nest links within other text elements.

<p>
  Here's a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.freecodecamp.org"> link to www.freecodecamp.org</a> for you to follow.
</p>

Let's break down the example. Normal text is wrapped in the p element:

<p> Here's a ... for you to follow. </p>

Next is the anchor element <a> (which requires a closing tag </a>):

<a> ... </a>

target is an anchor tag attribute that specifies where to open the link. The value _blank specifies to open the link in a new tab. The href is an anchor tag attribute that contains the URL address of the link:

<a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org" target="_blank"> ... </a>

The text, link to www.freecodecamp.org, within the a element is called anchor text, and will display the link to click:

<a href=" ... " target="...">link to freecodecamp.org</a>

The final output of the example will look like this:

Here's a link to www.freecodecamp.org for you to follow.

--instructions--

Nest the existing a element within a new p element. Do not create a new anchor tag. The new paragraph should have text that says View more cat photos, where cat photos is a link, and the rest is plain text.

--hints--

You should only have one a element.

assert(
  $('a').length  === 1 
);

The a element should link to "https://www.freecatphotoapp.com".

assert(
  $('a[href="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com"]').length  === 1 
);

Your a element should have the anchor text of cat photos

assert(
  $('a')
    .text()
    .match(/cat\sphotos/gi)
);

You should create a new p element. There should be at least 3 total p tags in your HTML code.

assert($('p') && $('p').length > 2);

Your a element should be nested within your new p element.

assert(
  $('a[href="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com"]').parent().is('p')
);

Your p element should have the text View more (with a space after it).

assert(
  $('a[href="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com"]')
    .parent()
    .text()
    .match(/View\smore\s/gi)
);

Your a element should not have the text View more.

assert(
  !$('a')
    .text()
    .match(/View\smore/gi)
);

Each of your p elements should have a closing tag.

assert(
  code.match(/<\/p>/g) &&
    code.match(/<p/g) &&
    code.match(/<\/p>/g).length === code.match(/<p/g).length
);

Each of your a elements should have a closing tag.

assert(
  code.match(/<\/a>/g) &&
    code.match(/<a/g) &&
    code.match(/<\/a>/g).length === code.match(/<a/g).length
);
