<div class="section tokenize-error" id="bare-ero"><h3>The <code>&amp;</code> character must

    <p>An <code>&amp;</code> (<code>U+0026</code>

    The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p><strong>Any <code>&amp;</code> character in URI (or IRI)
    must be escaped as <code>&amp;amp;</code>.</strong></p>

    <p>The <code>&amp;</code> character must

      <dt>Named entity reference</dt>
          <dd><pre class="html example">

    <p>To represent <code>&amp;</code> as a data character, use

    <p>The <code>&lt;/</code> sequence immediately followed

    <code>NUMBER SIGN</code>) character which
    is not part of any reference appears in the input stream.
    The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>The string <code>&amp;#</code> must be the first two characters

    <p>To represent <code>&amp;#</code> as data characters, use

    The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>The string <code>&amp;#x</code> or <code>&amp;#X</code> must
    be the first three characters of a hexadecimal reference:

    <p>The <code>&lt;/</code> sequence not followed by a

    <p>Polytheistic slash (<code>/&gt;</code>) must not be used

        <p><strong>NOTE</strong>: Though some user agents interpret

    some mobile Web browsers, will display processing instructions
    as string.</p>

<h2>HTML5 Parse Errors in Tree Construction Stage</h2>

<div class="section parse-error" id="after-head"><h3>The <code><var>$0</var></code> element cannot be
  inserted between <code>head</code> and <code>body</code> elements.</h3>
    <p>A start tag appears after the <code>head</code> element is closed
    but before the <code>body</code> element is opened.
    The document is non-conforming.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="DOCTYPE-in-the-middle"><h3>A <code>DOCTYPE</code> appears after any
  element or data character has been seen.</h3>
    <p>A <code>DOCTYPE</code> appears after any element or data character
    has been seen.  The document is non-conforming.</p>
    
    <p>The <code>DOCTYPE</code> must be placed before any
    tag, reference, or data character.  Only white space characters
    and comments can be inserted before the <code>DOCTYPE</code>.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="in-a:a"><h3>Anchor cannot be nested.</h3>
    <p>HTML <code>a</code> elements cannot be nested.
    The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>In the HTML syntax, a start tag of the <code>a</code>
    implies the end tag of any opening <code>a</code> element.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="in-body"><h3>Tag <code>&lt;<var>$0</var>&gt;</code>
  is not allowed in the <code>body</code> element.</h3>
    <p>The start or end tag of an element, which 
    cannot be a descendant of <code>body</code> element, appears
    in the input stream while the <code>body</code> element has been opened.
    The document is non-conforming.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="in-head:head"><h3>Start tag <code>&lt;head&gt;</code>
  is not allowed in the <code>head</code> element.</h3>
    <p>There is a start tag <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> in the
    <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> element.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>In an HTML document there must not be more than
    one <code>head</code> element, therefore no more than one
    start tag <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> can appear in the input stream.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="in-table"><h3>Tag <code>&lt;<var>$0</var>&gt;</code>
  is not allowed in a <code>table</code> element.</h3>
    <p>The start or end tag of an element, which
    cannot be a child of <code>table</code> element, appears
    in the input stream while the <code>table</code> element has been opened
    but no other element has been opened.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>In <code>table</code>, only table related elements
    are allowed; any other element must be contained in
    <code>td</code> or <code>th</code> element to form 
    a part of the table, or <code>caption</code> element to create
    a table caption.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="in-table:#character"><h3>Data character is not allowed in 
  <code>table</code>.</h3>
    <p>A data character appears in <code>table</code>.  The document
    is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>In <code>table</code>, only table related elements
    are allowed; any other element and data character must be contained in
    <code>td</code> or <code>th</code> element to form 
    a part of the table, or <code>caption</code> element to create
    a table caption.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="missing-start-tag:tr"><h3>Start tag of <code>tr</code>
  element is missing.</h3>
    <p>Start tag of a <code>tr</code> element, which is <em>not</em>
    optional, is missing.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>In a table section, a <code>&lt;tr&gt;</code> start tag
    must occur before any <code>&lt;td&gt;</code> or
    <code>&lt;th&gt;</code> start tag.  Though the HTML5 parser
    implies the <code>&lt;tr&gt;</code> start tag before
    these start tags, it must be explicitly specified.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="no-DOCTYPE"><h3>This document does not start with a
  <code>DOCTYPE</code>.</h3>
    <p>The document does not start with a <code>DOCTYPE</code>.
    The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>An HTML document must start by a <code>DOCTYPE</code>:
      <pre class="html example">
<code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt;</code></pre>
    </p>

    <p>Only white space characters and comments are allowed
    before the <code>DOCTYPE</code>.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="not-closed"><h3>Element <code><var>$0</var></code> is not
  closed.</h3>
    <p>End tag of an element is not found before, for example,
    an end tag of another element appears or
    the end of the document.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>Only <code>body</code>, <code>dd</code>, <code>dt</code>, 
    <code>head</code>, <code>html</code>, <code>li</code>,
    <code>ol</code>, <code>option</code>, <code>optgroup</code>, 
    <code>p</code>, <code>rb</code>, <code>rp</code>, <code>rt</code>, or
    <code>ul</code> end tag can be implied in HTML documents.
    For any element except for void element, there must be an explicit
    end tag.</p>

    <p>Note that misnesting tags, such as 
    <code class="bad example">&lt;a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</code>, are not
    allowed and they also cause this error.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="not-first-start-tag"><h3>This <code>&lt;html&gt;</code> tag is not
  the first start tag.</h3>
    <p>There is a start tag of the <code>html</code> element
    that it not the first start tag in the input stream.
    The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>In an HTML document, there cannot be more than one
    <code>html</code> element and therefore there cannot be
    more than one <code>&lt;html&gt;</code> tag.  In addition,
    nothing can be placed before the <code>&lt;html&gt;</code> tag
    except a <code>DOCTYPE</code>, white space characters, 
    and comments.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="not-HTML5"><h3>This document is written in an old version of 
  HTML.</h3>
    <p>The document contains a <code>DOCTYPE</code> declaration
    that is different from HTML5 <code>DOCTYPE</code> (i.e. 
    <code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt;</code>).  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>The document might or might not be conformant to
    some version of HTML.  However, conformance to any HTML
    specification other than HTML5 provides for no practical
    convenience, since Web borwsers will parse any
    HTML document (roughly) as defined in HTML5.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section parse-error" id="unmatched-end-tag"><h3>Element <code><var>$0</var></code> is not
  opened.</h3>
    <p>An end tag appears though no element with the same name
    has been opened.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>For any end tag in HTML document, there must be a
    corresponding start tag.</p>
