This article details the four types of KumaScript error, and some steps you can take to fix them.

DocumentParsingError errors appear when KumaScript has trouble understanding something in the document itself. The most common cause is a syntax error in a macro.

Check for:

• Curly braces not meant to call a macro. If you need to write { in a document without calling a macro you can escape it with a \ like this: \\{.
• Special characters in a macro parameter. If you need to use a " or a \ inside of a macro parameter, they can be escaped with a \ like this: \\ or \".
• Missing commas between macro parameters. Macro parameters need to be delimited by a comma (,) but not at the end of the list of parameters; for example {{compat("html.elements.link", 2)}}.
• HTML tags appearing inside a macro call. If you apply styling to a macro, it will often break because, for example, a </code> tag may have appeared inside the macro code in the source code. Check the source view to see what's there, and remove any unnecessary styling.

TemplateLoadingError errors appear when KumaScript has trouble finding which macro to include on a page.

Check for misspelled macro names or renamed macros. A list of active macros is available in kumascript/macros.

TemplateExecutionError errors appear when KumaScript encounters an error in the macro. If the error persists, report an issue, including the URL of the page and the text of the error.

This is the category errors end up in if they are not one of the other kinds of error.
