<div class="section parse-error" id="after-head"><h3>The <code><var>$0</var></code> element cannot be |
15 |
inserted between <code>head</code> and <code>body</code> elements.</h3> |
16 |
<p>A start tag occurs after the <code>head</code> element is closed |
17 |
but before the <code>body</code> element is opened. |
18 |
The document is non-conforming.</p> |

<div class="section tokenize-error" id="duplicate-attribute"><h3>There are two attributes with same name.</h3> |
22 |
<p>Attributes must be unique in an element. Specifying |
23 |
attributes with same name more than once is non-conforming.</p> |
24 |
|
25 |
<p>The <code>motion</code> attribute is not part of the HTML standard. |
26 |
Use <code>img</code> element with animation GIF instead.</p> |

<div class="section tokenize-error" id="nestc"><h3>Void element syntax (<code>/></code>) cannot be |

used for this element.</h3> |

<p>The void element syntax <code>/></code> syntax can only be |
32 |
used for <code>base</code>, <code>link</code>, <code>meta</code>, |
33 |
<code>hr</code>, <code>br</code>, <code>img</code>, |

<code>embed</code>, <code>param</code>, <code>area</code>, |

For any other elements, using that syntax is non-conforming.</p> |

<p>Unlike XML, the void element syntax (<code>/></code>) has |
39 |
no effect in HTML.</p> |

The link type might have been added to the registry since then. |

In such case it might be conforming. Otherwise, the |
