A note on long signatures
Line 33:
;Unclosed entities :If you have a [[HTML entity]] which is lacking the final <code>;</code>, you need to add it; if you have a bare <code>&amp;</code>, it must be replaced by <code>&amp;amp;</code> (a bare <code>&amp;</code> is always a mistake in either HTML or wikicode).
;Unescaped special characters :If you are using one of <code>&amp;</code>, <code>&lt;</code>, or <code>&gt;</code>, and want it shown as text, it must be escaped as <code>&amp;amp;</code>, <code>&amp;lt;</code>, or <code>&amp;gt;</code>, respectively.
 
==A note on long signatures==
 
The markup for your signature is visible in the edit window; if it is too long, it makes editing the page harder. Try to keep the markup length below about one line of text.
