====Dealing with template errors====

A common cause of errors when loading a new template is that the template is not ''well formed''. The template is in XHTML syntax, and therefore must follow the rules for writing well-formed XML documents:

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML#Well-formed_documents

'''Example

You get the following error when reloading the template:

 parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: img line 25 and div

Open the template file, and look for an img tag on line 25:

 <img src="/images/mylogo.gif"> 

The problem is that the img tag is opened, but there is no closing img tag. The img element is empty, so we can add a self-closing tag to make the eleemtn well formed:

 <img src="/images/mylogo.gif" /> 

'''Example

 parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: p line 60 and body

Open the template file and look for the p tag on line 60:

<pre>
 <p>This repository is maintained by the <b>Library and Computing team</b>.
</pre>

There is no closing p tag. The p element is not empty, so we add a closing p tag at the end of the paragraph to make the element well formed:

<pre>
 <p>This repository is maintained by the <b>Library and Computing team</b>.</p>
</pre>
