Recently, I refused the former breadcrumbs in favor of Yoast SEO breadcrumbs. Now I checked my site with HTML Validator. The results contain homogeneous errors:<br \/>\nError: End tag p seen, but there were open elements. Unclosed element \u201cspan\u201d.<br \/>\nTheir number varies depending on the depth of the links, but the validator always points to Yoast SEO breadcrumbs.<br \/>\nSample:<br \/>\n<code>&lt;p id=&quot;breadcrumbs&quot;&gt;&lt;span xmlns:v=&quot;http:\/\/rdf.data-vocabulary.org\/#&quot;&gt;&lt;span typeof=&quot;v:Breadcrumb&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/mysite\/&quot; rel=&quot;v:url&quot; property=&quot;v:title&quot;&gt;home&lt;\/a&gt; \u00bb &lt;span rel=&quot;v:child&quot; typeof=&quot;v:Breadcrumb&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/mysite\/category&quot; rel=&quot;v:url&quot; property=&quot;v:title&quot;&gt;category-name&lt;\/a&gt; \u00bb &lt;span rel=&quot;v:child&quot; typeof=&quot;v:Breadcrumb&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/mysite\/category\/subcat&quot; rel=&quot;v:url&quot; property=&quot;v:title&quot;&gt;subcat-name&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/code><br \/>\nHere you can see breadcrumbs generate &lt;span&gt;, but only one &lt;span&gt; is always closed.<br \/>\nTell me, please, is such construction necessary for Yoast SEO breadcrumbs or is it a bug in the plugin code?
