+

+ on it: <code><a href="#the-html-element">html</a></code>, <code><a href="#the-body-element">body</a></code>, <code><a href="#the-p-element">p</a></code>,
+ <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code>, and <code><a href="#the-i-element">i</a></code>. The <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active
+ formatting elements</a> just has two: <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> and
+ <code><a href="#the-i-element">i</a></code>. The <a href="#insertion-mode">insertion mode</a> is "<a href="#parsing-main-inbody" title="insertion mode: in body">in body</a>".</p>
+
+ <p>Upon receiving the end tag token with the tag name "b", the "<a href="#adoptionAgency">adoption agency algorithm</a>" is
+ invoked. This is a simple case, in that the <var title="">formatting
+ element</var> is the <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> element, and there is no
+ <var title="">furthest block</var>. Thus, the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open
+ elements</a> ends up with just three elements: <code><a href="#the-html-element">html</a></code>,
+ <code><a href="#the-body-element">body</a></code>, and <code><a href="#the-p-element">p</a></code>, while the <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of

+ for the "4" text node. After the end tag token for the "i" is also
+ received, and the "5" text node is inserted, the DOM looks as
+ follows:</p>
+
+ <ul class="domTree"><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-html-element">html</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-head-element">head</a></code><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-body-element">body</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-p-element">p</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">1</span><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">2</span><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-i-element">i</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">3</span></ul></ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-i-element">i</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">4</span></ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">5</span></ul></ul></ul></ul><h5 id="misnested-tags:-b-p-b-p"><span class="secno">9.2.8.2 </span>Misnested tags: <b><p></b></p></h5>

+
+ <p>A case similar to the previous one is the following:</p>
+
+ <pre><b>1<p>2</b>3</p></pre>
+
+ <p>Up to the "2" the parsing here is straightforward:</p>
+

+ "b" is parsed.</p>
+
+ <p>Before that token is seen, the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open
+ elements</a> has four elements on it: <code><a href="#the-html-element">html</a></code>,
+ <code><a href="#the-body-element">body</a></code>, <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code>, and <code><a href="#the-p-element">p</a></code>. The
+ <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active formatting elements</a> just has the one:
+ <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code>. The <a href="#insertion-mode">insertion mode</a> is "<a href="#parsing-main-inbody" title="insertion mode: in body">in body</a>".</p>
+
+ <p>Upon receiving the end tag token with the tag name "b", the "<a href="#adoptionAgency">adoption agency algorithm</a>" is invoked, as
+ in the previous example. However, in this case, there <em>is</em> a
+ <var title="">furthest block</var>, namely the <code><a href="#the-p-element">p</a></code> element. Thus,
+ this time the adoption agency algorithm isn't skipped over.</p>
+
+ <p>The <var title="">common ancestor</var> is the <code><a href="#the-body-element">body</a></code>
+ element. A conceptual "bookmark" marks the position of the
+ <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> in the <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active formatting
+ elements</a>, but since that list has only one element in it,
+ it won't have much effect.</p>
+
+ <p>As the algorithm progresses, <var title="">node</var> ends up set
+ to the formatting element (<code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code>), and <var title="">last
+ node</var> ends up set to the <var title="">furthest block</var>
+ (<code><a href="#the-p-element">p</a></code>).</p>
+
+ <p>The <var title="">last node</var> gets appended (moved) to the
+ <var title="">common ancestor</var>, so that the DOM looks like:</p>
+
+ <ul class="domTree"><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-html-element">html</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-head-element">head</a></code><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-body-element">body</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">1</span></ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-p-element">p</a></code><ul><li class="t3"><code>#text</code>: <span title="">2</span></ul></ul></ul></ul><p>A new <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> element is created, and the children of the

+
+ <p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+
+ <p>Error handling in tables is, for historical reasons, especially
+ strange. For example, consider the following markup:</p>
+
+ <pre><table><strong><b></strong><tr><td>aaa</td></tr><strong>bbb</strong></table>ccc</pre>
+
+ <p>The highlighted <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> element start tag is not allowed
+ directly inside a table like that, and the parser handles this case
+ by placing the element <em>before</em> the table. (This is called <i title="foster parent"><a href="#foster-parent">foster parenting</a></i>.) This can be seen by
+ examining the DOM tree as it stands just after the
+ <code><a href="#the-table-element">table</a></code> element's start tag has been seen:</p>
+
+ <ul class="domTree"><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-html-element">html</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-head-element">head</a></code><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-body-element">body</a></code><ul><li class="t1"><code><a href="#the-table-element">table</a></code></ul></ul></ul><p>...and then immediately after the <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> element start

+ <code><a href="#the-table-element">table</a></code>, and <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> (in that order, despite the
+ resulting DOM tree); the <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active formatting

+ <p>The <code><a href="#the-tr-element">tr</a></code> start tag causes the <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> element

+ handling them, the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open elements</a> has on it the
+ elements <code><a href="#the-html-element">html</a></code>, <code><a href="#the-body-element">body</a></code>, <code><a href="#the-table-element">table</a></code>,
+ and <code><a href="#the-tbody-element">tbody</a></code>; the <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active formatting
+ elements</a> still has the <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> element in it (the
+ marker having been removed by the "td" end tag token); the
+ <a href="#insertion-mode">insertion mode</a> is "<a href="#parsing-main-intbody" title="insertion mode: in
+ table body">in table body</a>"; and the <code><a href="#the-table-element">table</a></code>
+ element is still <a href="#tainted">tainted</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Thus it is that the "bbb" character tokens are found. When <a href="#reconstruct-the-active-formatting-elements" title="reconstruct the active formatting elements">the active
+ formatting elements are reconstructed</a>, a <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code>
+ element is created and <a href="#foster-parent" title="foster parent">foster
+ parented</a>, and then the "bbb" text node is appended to it:</p>

+ <code><a href="#the-tbody-element">tbody</a></code>, and the new <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> (again, note that
+ this doesn't match the resulting tree!); the <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active
+ formatting elements</a> has the new <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> element in it;
+ the <a href="#insertion-mode">insertion mode</a> is still "<a href="#parsing-main-intbody" title="insertion
+ mode: in table body">in table body</a>"; and the
+ <code><a href="#the-table-element">table</a></code> element is still <a href="#tainted">tainted</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Had the character tokens been <a href="#space-character" title="space character">space
+ characters</a> instead of "bbb", the result would have been the
+ same, but only because the table is <a href="#tainted">tainted</a>. Had the
+ <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> element's start tag been before the
+ <code><a href="#the-table-element">table</a></code> instead of after, then the table wouldn't have
+ been <a href="#tainted">tainted</a> and such <a href="#space-character" title="space
+ character">space characters</a> would just be appended to the
+ <code><a href="#the-tbody-element">tbody</a></code> element.</p>
+
+ <p>Finally, the <code><a href="#the-table-element">table</a></code> is closed by a "table" end
+ tag. This pops all the nodes from the <a href="#stack-of-open-elements">stack of open
+ elements</a> up to and including the <code><a href="#the-table-element">table</a></code> element,
+ but it doesn't affect the <a href="#list-of-active-formatting-elements">list of active formatting
+ elements</a>, so the "ccc" character tokens after the table
+ result in yet another <code><a href="#the-b-element">b</a></code> element being created, this
