Line 26:

This means you are using invalid markup on your signature. Some possible causes with their corresponding solutions:

;Unclosed tags :If you are opening a tag without the corresponding closing tag (for instance:<br /> <code><nowiki>[[User:Example|<span style="color:white">Example]]</nowiki></code>), you should close the tag (for instance: <code><nowiki>[[User:Example|<span>example/respondent.email@exampleand permenet style="color:white">Example</span>]]</nowiki></code>). It's also a good idea to put the tags outside the link if possible (for instance: <code><nowiki><span style="font-family: serif">[[User:Example|Example]]</span></nowiki></code>).

;Mismatched or incorrectly nested tags :If the tags are mismatched (for instance: <code><nowiki><s><u>hi</s></u></nowiki></code>), fix them (for instance: <code><nowiki><s><u>hi</u></s></nowiki></code>).

;Unquoted attributes :It's also recommended to use quotes on all attributes (for instance, use <code><nowiki><span style="color:white"></span></nowiki></code> instead of<br /> <code><nowiki><span style=color:white></span></nowiki></code>).

Line 32:

;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.

* Do not use a table. A table causes the signature to display on more than one line. Use span instead.polisy /html/example permenet permenet onwner.code//
