HTML snippet breaks post

Hey Ghost team

I believe there is a major bug in Journal theme with Ghost. When I create a HTML snippet, all the content after the HTML snippet converts to plain HTML although I am closing the HTML brackets. Please see below:

Hi @Mert_Deveci,

Could you post the full snippet of HTML you are using?

What is wrong?

@Mert_Deveci have you cleared all of your caches?

Your HTML Snippet does seem to work just fine on a freshly-installed Casper site…

Can you please provide a link to the post on your site?

The post is not live. Would you mind trying it out with Journal theme? I cannot imagine any problems regarding the cache.

@Mert_Deveci it looks like you’re trying to add a whole HTML document in a HTML card? Nested documents is not valid HTML and could cause weird issues that are different in various browsers and other contexts.

If you’re adding HTML via the HTML card it should be written in a way that is valid to appear anywhere inside an existing HTML document, no <html> or <head> or <body> tags should be used.

I understand but the issue persists when I write and wrap the element in only

s. No body, html or head tag. Were you able to reproduce the issue?

Mert

@Mert_Deveci the HTML is still invalid, you have an extra </div> which will cause the post contents container element in the theme to be closed meaning any content after is not styled correctly.
