Trying to understand how the "a href" tabs are incorrect.

Unable to proceed because I don't understand my mistake.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a>
      <a href="pies.html">Pies</a>
      <a href="candy.html">Candy</a>
    </ul>

  </body>
</html>

Hey Brian! Direct children of a <ul> element should be the <li> element. You just need to wrap each <a> tag with its own <li>. Here ya go:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
      <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
      <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
    </ul>
  </body>
</html>
