Expected behavior

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce

Sympa Accessibility Issue - 26 - was determined by an Automation Tool Evaluation using AInspector and Siteimprove Accessibility Checkers as automated accessibility evaluation tools.

After running these automation tools the following issue was identified:

No p element in scope but a p end tag seen.

HTML Code Validation

The purpose of code review is to make sure that the HTML follows the Document Type Declaration (DTD), which sets out the rules and grammar for the flavor of markup, thus enabling the browser to render the content accordingly. The HTML5 validator NuValidator was used in this evaluation. Code validation should be done to better conform with HTML standards and thus accessible coding practices. Although several of the errors uncovered by the Validator are minor, compliance means the site will operate as expected when used by assistive technology (AT) (WCAG 2.0 4.1.1 Parsing). Often, fixing one or two of those errors early on can resolve many of the errors flagged, since it has a waterfall effect.
