Errors and their causes

unopened_tag

This error happens if a tag is closed but not opened. For example with the following template

Hello name} !

unclosed_tag

This error happens if a tag is opened but not closed. For example with the following template.

Hello {name !

raw_xml_tag_should_be_only_text_in_paragraph

This happens when a rawXMLTag {@raw} is not the only text in the paragraph. For example, writing {@raw} (Note the spaces) is not acceptable because the {@raw} tag replaces the full paragraph. We prefer to throw an Error now rather than have “strange behavior” because the spaces “disappeared”.

To correct this error, you have to add manually the text that you want in your raw tag.

{@my_first_tag}{my_second_tag}
Or 
Hello {@my_first_tag}

unclosed_loop (and unopened_loop)

This happens when a loop is closed but never opened: for example

{#users}{name}
or
{name}{/user

closing_tag_does_not_match_opening_tag

This happens when a loop is closed but doesn’t match the opening tag, for example:

{#users}{name}{/people}
