You can’t put div element inside of a p element. So when the HTML parser
reaches the div start tag on line 224, it closes rhe p element you opened
on line 221. Essentially it automatically generates a closing p tag. And
then later it finds another closing p tag on line 292 but it has already
closed the p element. Hence the error message you’re seeing.
