# --description--
You can nest links within other text elements.
```html
<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:
```html
<p> Here's a ... for you to follow. </p>
```
Next is the *anchor* element `<a>` (which requires a closing tag `</a>`):
```html
<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:
```html
<a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org" target="_blank"> ... </a>
```
The text, `link to www.freecodecamp.org`, within the `a` element is called <dfn>anchor text</dfn>, and will display the link to click:
```html
<a href=" ... " target="...">link to freecodecamp.org</a>
```
The final output of the example will look like this:
Here's a <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org" target="_blank">link to www.freecodecamp.org</a> 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.
```js
assert(
$('a').length === 1
);
```
The `a` element should link to "`https://www.freecatphotoapp.com`".
```js
assert(
$('a[href="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com"]').length === 1
);
```
Your `a` element should have the anchor text of `cat photos`
```js
assert(
$('a')
.text()
.match(/cat\sphotos/gi)
);
```
You should create a new `p` element. There should be at least 3 total `p` tags in your HTML code.
```js
assert($('p') && $('p').length > 2);
```
Your `a` element should be nested within your new `p` element.
```js
assert(
$('a[href="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com"]').parent().is('p')
);
```
Your `p` element should have the text `View more ` (with a space after it).
```js
assert(
$('a[href="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com"]')
.parent()
.text()
.match(/View\smore\s/gi)
);
```
Your `a` element should <em>not</em> have the text `View more`.
```js
assert(
!$('a')
.text()
.match(/View\smore/gi)
);
```
Each of your `p` elements should have a closing tag.
```js
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.
```js
assert(
code.match(/<\/a>/g) &&
code.match(/<a/g) &&
code.match(/<\/a>/g).length === code.match(/<a/g).length
);
```
