You can nest JSX elements inside of other JSX elements, just like in HTML.

Here’s an example of a JSX <h1> element, nested inside of a JSX <a> element:

<a href="https://www.example.com"><h1>Click me!</h1></a>

To make this more readable, you can use HTML-style line breaks and indentation:

<a href="https://www.example.com"> <h1> Click me! </h1> </a>

If a JSX expression takes up more than one line, then you must wrap the multi-line JSX expression in parentheses. This looks strange at first, but you get used to it:

( <a href="https://www.example.com"> <h1> Click me! </h1> </a> )

Nested JSX expressions can be saved as variables, passed to functions, etc., just like non-nested JSX expressions can! Here’s an example of a nested JSX expression being saved as a variable:

const theExample = ( <a href="https://www.example.com"> <h1> Click me! </h1> </a> );

Instructions

1.

Declare a new variable named myDiv. Set myDiv equal to a JSX <div></div> element.

Wrap the <div></div> in parentheses, and use indentation and line breaks like in the examples. In between the <div></div> tags, nest an <h1></h1> containing the text Hello world.
