In the last contributor meeting, Jane Colmenares said that missing <nowiki><div></nowiki> tags were “bane of her existence.” She was referring to the difficulty of finding missing <nowiki><div></nowiki> or <nowiki></div></nowiki> tags in articles that can really mess up a page. It might be for you as well. You can use '''Ctrl+F''' to find all the div tags but it will not help you find matching pairs of opening and closing <nowiki><div></nowiki> tags. | In the last contributor meeting, Jane Colmenares said that missing <nowiki><div></nowiki> tags were “bane of her existence.” She was referring to the difficulty of finding missing <nowiki><div></nowiki> or <nowiki></div></nowiki> tags in articles that can really mess up a page.

</p> <p>Download a free software program called '''Notepad++'''. It works just like Notepad which comes with your windows program. Put these four lines of code on a new page in Notepad++. Then save the page with a name you can remember with an “html” extension like so: “some name.html.” You will use it more than once. | </p> <p>Download a free software program called '''Notepad++'''.

Next, download the page in Wikitext code you are having problems with between the <body> tags. Then, highlight the <nowiki><div></nowiki> tag you think might have a missing <nowiki></div></nowiki> tag. If its counterpart exists, you will notice that it will be highlighted at the same time. If its counterpart is way down the page, you may have to scroll down the page to find it. | Next, download the page in Wikitext code you are having problems with between the <body> tags.
