# --description--

Begin with the standard boilerplate. Add your `DOCTYPE` declaration, your `html` element, your `head` and `body` elements.

Add your `meta` element for the correct `charset`, your `title` element, and a `link` element for the `./styles.css` file.

Set the `title` to `CSS Ferris Wheel`.

# --hints--

Your code should contain the `DOCTYPE` reference.

```js
assert(code.match(/<!DOCTYPE/gi));
```

You should include a space after the `DOCTYPE` reference.

```js
assert(code.match(/<!DOCTYPE\s+/gi));
```

You should define the document type to be `html`.

```js
assert(code.match(/<!DOCTYPE\s+html/gi));
```

You should close the `DOCTYPE` declaration with a `>` after the type.

```js
assert(code.match(/<!DOCTYPE\s+html\s*>/gi));
```

Your `html` element should have an opening tag.

```js
assert(code.match(/<html\s*>/gi));
```

Your `html` element should have a closing tag.

```js
assert(code.match(/<\/html\s*>/));
```

Your `DOCTYPE` declaration should be at the beginning of your HTML.

```js
assert(__helpers.removeHtmlComments(code).match(/^\s*<!DOCTYPE\s+html\s*>/i));
```

You should have an opening `head` tag.

```js
assert(code.match(/<head\s*>/i));
```

You should have a closing `head` tag.

```js
assert(code.match(/<\/head\s*>/i));
```

You should have an opening `body` tag.

```js
assert(code.match(/<body\s*>/i));
```

You should have a closing `body` tag.

```js
assert(code.match(/<\/body\s*>/i));
```

The `head` and `body` elements should be siblings.

```js
assert(document.querySelector('head')?.nextElementSibling?.localName === 'body');
```

The `head` element should be within the `html` element.

```js
assert([...document.querySelector('html')?.children].some(x => x?.localName === 'head'));
```

The `body` element should be within the `html` element.

```js
assert([...document.querySelector('html')?.children].some(x => x?.localName === 'body'));
```

Your code should have a `meta` element.

```js
const meta = document.querySelector('meta');
assert.exists(meta);
```

Your `meta` element should have a `charset` attribute with the value `UTF-8`.

```js
assert.match(code, /<meta[\s\S]+?charset=('|"|`)UTF-8\1/)
```

Your code should have a `title` element.

```js
const title = document.querySelector('title');
assert.exists(title);
```

Your project should have a title of `CSS Ferris Wheel`.

```js
const title = document.querySelector('title');
assert.equal(title?.text?.trim()?.toLowerCase(), 'css ferris wheel')
```

Remember, the casing and spelling matter for the title.

```js
const title = document.querySelector('title');
assert.equal(title?.text?.trim(), 'CSS Ferris Wheel');
```

Your code should have a `link` element.

```js
assert.match(code, /<link/)
```

Your `link` element should be a self-closing element.

```js
assert(code.match(/<link[\w\W\s]+\/>/i));
```

Your `link` element should be within your `head` element.

```js
assert(code.match(/<head>[\w\W\s]*<link[\w\W\s]*\/>[\w\W\s]*<\/head>/i))
```

Your `link` element should have a `rel` attribute with the value `stylesheet`.

```js
assert.match(code, /<link[\s\S]*?rel=('|"|`)stylesheet\1/)
```

Your `link` element should have an `href` attribute with the value `styles.css`.

```js
assert.match(code, /<link[\s\S]*?href=('|"|`)(\.\/)?styles\.css\1/)
```
