The following checkbox is OPTIONAL:

  • I would like to be assigned this issue to work on it

1. Description of the Bug:
The path/course Foundations, section HTML Foundations, lesson HTML Boilerplate, reads as follows in the Additional resources content:

Another option for opening your HTML pages in the browser is using the Live Preview extension for VSCode.

Later, in the same path/course, section CSS Foundations, lesson Intro to CSS, we are redirected for the first time to the current repo which reads as follows in its README.md file (heading How To Use These Exercises):

  1. Go to an exercise directory and open the HTML file in a web browser. You can open the file directly or use something like VSCode's Live Server extension.

It turns out that Live Server and Live Preview are two different extensions and both are very popular in VS Code extension store.

There is an issue in the curriculum repo that suggest that Live Preview is the de facto standard extension officially adopted by TOP, hence it is advised to change the README.md file in the current repo to match that.
