Quote “"” in attribute name. Probable cause: Matching quote missing somewhere earlier.

About This HTML Issue

Quote characters used for attributes can use either single quotes (') or double quotes ("), and they must be properly matched, for example:

<p class="news">...</p>

A common cause for this issue is forgetting to use the equal sign (=), so the HTML parser wrongly believes the quote forms part of the attribute name, for example:

<p class "news">this is wrong</p>
