I am not sure what the exact source of the problem is, as it is happening with the parsing of multiple content

Expected "</br>" to terminate element starting on line 3.

Is there some reason that you think it is something other than what it says it is - a missing tag?

I am trying to figure out if it is a problem in the content itself, or a problem with the html editor. I see this exact error on a number of different articles in our knowledgebase, which seems less likely to be a problem with the html source code
