<h2>HTML5 Parse Errors in Tokenization Stage</h2>

<div class="section parse-error" id="after-html"><h3>Tag <code>&lt;<var>$0</var>&gt;</code>
  is not allowed after the end tag <code>&lt;/html&gt;</code>.</h3>
    <p>The start or end tag of an element appears after the
    <code>html</code> element has been closed.  The document is
    non-conforming.</p>

    <p>Any content of the document other than comments
    must be put into the <code>html</code> element.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section tokenize-error" id="bare-ero"><h3>The <code>&amp;</code> character must
  introduce a reference.</h3>
    <p>An <code>&amp;</code> (<code>U+0026</code>
    <code class="charname">AMPERSAND</code>) character which
    is not part of any reference appears in the input stream.
    The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>The <code>&amp;</code> character must
    be the first character of a reference:
      <dl>
      <dt>Named entity reference</dt>
          <dd><pre class="html example">
<code>&amp;<var>entity-name</var>;</code></pre>
          where <var>entity-name</var> is the name of the
          character entity to be referenced.</dd>
      <dt>Numeric character reference</dt>
          <dd><pre class="html example">
<code>&amp;#<var>d</var>;</code></pre>

          where <var>h</var> is the hexadecimal representation
          of the code position of the character to be referenced.</dd>
      </dl>
    </p>

    <p>To represent <code>&amp;</code> as a data character, use
    named entity reference:
      <pre class="html example">
<code>&amp;amp;</code></pre>
    </p>
  </div>

<div class="section tokenize-error" id="bare-stago"><h3>A <code>&lt;</code> character is not followed

    <p>A <code>&lt;</code> (<code>U+003C</code> 
    <code class="charname">LESS-THAN SIGN</code>) character which is not part
    of any markup appears in the input stream.</p>

    <p>The <code>&lt;</code> character as a data character must
    be escaped as:
    <pre class="html example">
<code>&amp;lt;</code></pre>
    </p>
  </div>

<div class="section tokenize-error" id="bare-nero"><h3>The decimal representation of the code position

    <p>An <code>&amp;</code> (<code>U+0026</code>
    <code class="charname">AMPERSAND</code>) character immediately
    followed by a <code>#</code> (<code>U+0023</code>
    <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
    of a reference:
      <dl>
      <dt>Numeric character reference</dt>
          <dd><pre class="html example">
<code>&amp;#<var>d</var>;</code></pre>

      <dt>Hexadecimal character reference</dt>
          <dd><pre class="html example">
<code>&amp;#x<var>h</var>;</code></pre>
          where <var>h</var> is the hexadecimal representation
          of the code point of the character to be referenced.</dd>
      </dl>
    </p>

    <p>To represent <code>&amp;#</code> as data characters, use
    a named entity reference for the <code>&amp;</code> character:
      <pre class="html example">
<code>&amp;amp;#</code></pre>
    </p>
  </div>

<div class="section tokenize-error" id="bare-hcro"><h3>The hexadecimal representation of the code position
  of a character must be specified after <code>&amp;#x</code>.</h3>
   <p>The string <code>&amp;#x</code> or <code>&amp;#X</code> which
   is not part of any reference appears in the input stream.
    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:
      <pre class="html example">
<code>&amp;#x<var>h</var>;</code></pre>
    where <var>h</var> is the hexadecimal representation
    of the code point of the character to be referenced.</p>

    <p>To represent <code>&amp;#x</code> as data characters, use
    a named entity reference for the <code>&amp;</code> character:
      <pre class="html example">
<code>&amp;amp;#x</code></pre>
    </p>
  </div>

<div class="section tokenize-error" id="dash-in-comment"><h3>There is a <code>--</code> sequence

    <p>There is a <code>-</code> (<code>U+002D</code>
    <code class="charname">HYPHEN-MINUS</code>) character 
    at the end of the comment or a <code>--</code> sequence
    in the comment.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>Comments cannot contain a string <code>--</code>, as in XML.
    Unlike SGML, there cannot be more than one comments
    (where <i>comment</i> is an SGML term) in the comment
    declaration.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section tokenize-error" id="duplicate-attribute"><h3>There are two attributes with name
      <code><var>$0</var></code>.</h3>
    <p>There are more than one attributes with the same
    name in a tag.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>The <code>motion</code> attribute is not part of the HTML standard.
    Use <code>img</code> element with animation GIF instead.</p>
  </div>

<div class="section tokenize-error" id="nestc"><h3>Void element syntax (<code>/&gt;</code>) cannot be
  used for this element.</h3>
    <p>Void element syntax (<code>/&gt;</code>) must not be used
    for the element.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>The void element syntax can only be
    used for <code>base</code>, <code>link</code>, <code>meta</code>,
    <code>hr</code>, <code>br</code>, <code>img</code>, 
    <code>embed</code>, <code>param</code>, <code>area</code>,
    <code>col</code>, and <code>input</code> elements.</p>

    <p>Note that, unlike in XML, the void element syntax has
    no effect in HTML.</p>
  </div>


<div class="section tokenize-error" id="pio"><h3>Processing instruction 
  (<code>&lt;?<var>...</var>?&gt;</code>) cannot be used.</h3>
    <p>Processing instructions (<code>&lt;?<var>...</var>?&gt;</code>),
    including XML declaration (<code>&lt;?xml <var>...</var>?&gt;</code>)
    and XML style sheet <abbr title="processing instruction">PI</abbr>
    (<code>&lt;xml-stylesheet <var>...</var>?&gt;</code>), are not allowed 
    in the HTML syntax.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>If it is necessary to embed a processing instruction
    in the HTML document, you must use the XML syntax instead.</p>

    <p>In the HTML syntax, XML declaration is not necessary.</p>

    <p>Instead of XML style sheet,
    <abbr title="processing instruction">PI</abbr>s, you must
    use the HTML <code>link</code> element whose <code>rel</code>
    attribute is set to <code>stylesheet</code> (or 
    <code>alternate stylesheet</code> for an aleternate style sheet).</p>

    <p>Web browsers will parse processing instructions as bogus
    comments.  Some legacy Web browsers, such as IE:mac and
    some mobile 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 a <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;<var>head</var>&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>
  </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>
  </div>

<h2>Element Content Model Errors</h2>

<div class="section content-model-error" id="character-not-allowed"><h3>Data character is not allowed in this
  context.</h3>
    <p>A data character appears where it is not allowed in this
    context.  The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>Possible causes:
      <ul>
      <li><p>A data character cannot be a child
      of certain sectioning elements such as <code>body</code>,
      <code>section</code>, and <code>blockquote</code>.</p>

      <p>Any inline-level content must be put
      in e.g. paragraph element such as <code>p</code>.</p></li>
      <li><p>Though some elements such as <code>div</code>,

    </p>
  </div>

<div class="section content-model-error" id="child-element-missing"><h3>There must be a <code><var>$0</var></code>
  element as a child of this element.</h3>
    <p>The content model of the element is so defined that it
    must contain a <code><var>$0</var></code> child element.
    The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>For example:
      <ul>
      <li>The <code>head</code> element must contain exactly one
      <code>title</code> child element.</li>
      <li><a href="#child-element-missing:td%7Cth">The <code>tr</code>
      element must contain one or more <code>td</code> or <code>th</code>
      child element.</a></li>

<h2>Table Model Errors</h2>

<div class="section table-model-error" id="table:colspan-creates-column-with-no-anchored-cell"><h3>This <code>colspan</code> attribute
  results in creating a table column that does not contain
  any cell anchored to it.</h3></div>

<div class="section table-model-error" id="table:no-cell-in-last-row"><h3>The table has no cell (<code>td</code> or
  <code>th</code>) in the last row.</h3></div>

<div class="section table-model-error" id="table:rowspan-extends-table"><h3>This <code>rowspan</code> attribute
  results in creating a table row that does not contain
  any cell anchored to it.</h3>
    <p>The <code>rowspan</code> attribute value of the cell
    is so specified that it extends a table in the row axis.
    However, the extended row does not contain any cell by itself.
    The document is non-conforming.</p>

    <p>For example, the table below is non-conforming:
      <pre class="html non-conforming example">
<code>&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td rowspan=2&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;</code></pre>
    ... is non-conforming, since the second row contains only
    a cell that spans the first and the second rows.</p>
