How do you add a nested ordered list inside a unordered list item?

I think the programming checker has a bug or I am missing the entire lesson.

  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>
    <ul>
      <li>Shapes</li>
      <ol>
        <li>Stop</li>
      </ol>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

I'm not sure where in your code you want to put it, but it sounds like you want something like this. It should go between the <li> and </li> tags which are between the <ul> and </ul> tags.

<ul>
    <li>
        <ol>
            <li></li>
         </ol>
    </li>
</ul>

Hi,

You almost have it. Your code currently looks like:

<ul>
      <li>Shapes</li>
      <ol>
        <li>Stop</li>
      </ol>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

but will need to change so the nested ol is within a list item, e.g.

<ul>
      <li>
            Shapes
            <ol>
                  <li>Stop</li>
            </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

Hope that helps

No problem. This video at the 2.57 mark should help explain it too.

Check out this previous post https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/is-there-something-wrong-with-code-challenge-or-my-coding-please-check-below-image-link-httpsnaggyjsdxtjpg

It is because it looks like they are wanting you to place to ol inside the li tag
