The problem is lying on line 17, you see in the book line 17 has two lines, one numbered 17 and the other below line is blank. These two lines are line 17.

 

//print "<span style=\"font-weight:

bold;\">Hello, world!</span>\n";

 

All of this statement needs to be on one single line:

 

//print "<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Hello, world!</span>\n";

 

For comments starting with // all the commented out text must proceed the // on the same line.
