# --description--

You can add another level of organization in your HTML document within the `html` tags with the `head` and `body` elements. Any markup with information about your page would go into the `head` tag. Then any markup with the content of the page (what displays for a user) would go into the `body` tag.

Metadata elements, such as `link`, `meta`, `title`, and `style`, typically go inside the `head` element.

Here's an example of a page's layout:

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
   <meta charset="utf-8">
   <title>Example title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
```

# --instructions--

Edit the markup so there's a `head` and a `body`. The `head` element should only include the `title`, and the `body` element should only include the `h1` and `p`.

# --hints--

There should be only one `head` element on the page.

```js
const headElems = code.replace(/\n/g, '').match(/\<head\s*>.*?\<\/head\s*>/g);
assert(headElems && headElems.length === 1);
```

There should be only one `body` element on the page.

```js
const bodyElems = code.replace(/\n/g, '').match(/<body\s*>.*?<\/body\s*>/g);
assert(bodyElems && bodyElems.length === 1);
```

The `head` element should be a child of the `html` element.

```js
const htmlChildren = code
  .replace(/\n/g, '')
  .match(/<html\s*>(?<children>.*)<\/html\s*>/);
let foundHead;
if (htmlChildren) {
  const { children } = htmlChildren.groups;

  foundHead = children.match(/<head\s*>.*<\/head\s*>/);
}
assert(foundHead);
```

The `body` element should be a child of the `html` element.

```js
const htmlChildren = code
  .replace(/\n/g, '')
  .match(/<html\s*>(?<children>.*?)<\/html\s*>/);
let foundBody;
if (htmlChildren) {
  const { children } = htmlChildren.groups;
  foundBody = children.match(/<body\s*>.*<\/body\s*>/);
}
assert(foundBody);
```

The `head` element should wrap around the `title` element.

```js
const headChildren = code
  .replace(/\n/g, '')
  .match(/<head\s*>(?<children>.*?)<\/head\s*>/);
let foundTitle;
if (headChildren) {
  const { children } = headChildren.groups;
  foundTitle = children.match(/<title\s*>.*?<\/title\s*>/);
}
assert(foundTitle);
```

The `body` element should wrap around both the `h1` and `p` elements.

```js
const bodyChildren = code
  .replace(/\n/g, '')
  .match(/<body\s*>(?<children>.*?)<\/body\s*>/);
let foundElems;
if (bodyChildren) {
  const { children } = bodyChildren.groups;
  const h1s = children.match(/<h1\s*>.*<\/h1\s*>/g);
  const ps = children.match(/<p\s*>.*<\/p\s*>/g);
  const numH1s = h1s ? h1s.length : 0;
  const numPs = ps ? ps.length : 0;
  foundElems = numH1s === 1 && numPs === 1;
}
assert(foundElems);
```
