* Greetings all, currently making a theme when testing it, getting an error `Parse
error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\
wppro\header.php on line 25`. But on line 25 I have ``. Why
I’m getting this error? Isn’t the correct use of `wp_head`?

* Try adding a new line after
* ```
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wppro_script_enqueuer');
```
* containing
* ```
?>
```

* Thanks, it worked. Do I need to add a space after `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()`
and before `.'/my/directory/style.css`?

* No, it is not necessary, but I prefer to add a space before & after the **.**(
string concatenation operator) to make the code easier to read
