Most of the tags in that block of code are not closed properly.

For example, in

-----

<title>Daily Shop | Home</title>

<!-- Font awesome -->
<link href="css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">

-----

Lines 1 and 2 are closed properly, but line 3 is not.  Note the bold character in the first line.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-,

 

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/document-metadata.html#the-link-element
Tag omission in text/html: No end tag.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#elements-0
"Void elements: ... link ..."
"Void elements only have a start tag; end tags must not be specified for void elements."

The link tag does not need the end tag, you can see its specification here "As it is a void element, the start tag must be present and the end tag must not be present"

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/link

Another thing, the error is pointing to a different line "Error parsing XML, line 43, column 5: The element type "link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</link>"

So i suspect it happens because of another reason

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I was looking at the first part of the error message.

Error parsing XML , not html.  It is well formed html, but it's being processed as though it is XML.  Either the program needs to be set to understand that it is html, or it needs to be well-formed xml

Sorry.  When I answered the question, I was looking at a system that stores data as XML and dynamically converts it to html when it needed it in that format.  I should have explained that the html/xml difference in my original answer
