'Unexpected closing tag "td". Help!

[jimapl]

Describe the Bug

After bumping react and nextjs to latest, I get this error on all my email renders:

import {render} from "@react-email/render";
...
export const customVerificationRequest = async ({token, identifier: email} : {
    token: string;
    identifier: string;
}) => {
    try {

        const html = await render(<MagicSigninEmail token={token}/>, {
            pretty: true,
        });
       ...

    } catch (e) {
        console.error({e})
    }
}

Which throws

[cause]: t {
  span: [h],
  msg: 'Unexpected closing tag "td". It may happen when the tag has already been closed by another tag. For more info see https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#closing-elements-that-have-implied-end-tags',
  level: 1,
  elementName: 'td'
}

    "@react-email/components": "^0.0.28",
    "@react-email/render": "^1.0.3",
     "react-email": "3.0.4",

No response

Link to the code that reproduces this issue

Private repo

To Reproduce

Switching to stable branch everything works. Meaning react 18 / nextjs 14.
Have not changed any code, both render and renderAsync this happens.

Expected Behavior

Email to be rendered

What's your node version? (if relevant)

v20.10.0

We can't reproduce your issue if you don't share a reproduction for it. What was the content for the email template that generates the error? If we were to guess, it would be almost impossible and a waste of time.

Going to close this issue as not planned, since it is basically unsolvable without the proper instructions. Share the reproduction and I might reopen if it is satisfactory.

It’s a straight copy from the react email templates.
Will paste it here later when home. Brb
Same code does not break in react 18

Will get back

The email template in question:

https://gist.github.com/jim-spr/c3668ec9dc36277e63e744e9fb33565f

it's pretty much from the react-email templates.
Again, I have not changed any code. I bumped next to latest and react version to 19. Anything else I should provide?

@gabrielmfern

Edit:

even sending an empty column. All other components commented out, it breaks.
When I comment column out, it sends successfully!

[jim-spr]

Managed to solve this issue by deleting the Column component. Is this deprecated?

@gabrielmfern I'm seeing this issue, too, with @react-email/components@0.0.29 and above. It appears to be an issue with render expecting tag omission. This:

await render(
   <p>
      <div>Hi</div>
   </p>,
   { pretty: true }
);

fails, while this:

await render(
   <p>
      <span>Hi</span>
   </p>,
   { pretty: true }
);

works without error.

@gabrielmfern if it helps, I'm wondering if this change from js-beautify to prettier is what caused this issue. I've noticed that the render only fails when { pretty: true } is passed.

[gabrielmfern]

Sorry for the delay, looking into this right now!

[gabrielmfern]

as @EleanorLee42 mentioned, this is an issue happening with the way we currently prettify the output from render, so as a workaround you can simply disable the pretty option for now

The error itself seems to point to this in the HTML standard

13.2.6.3 Closing elements that have implied end tags
When the steps below require the UA to generate implied end tags, then, while the current node is a dd element, a dt element, an li element, an optgroup element, an option element, a p element, an rb element, an rp element, an rt element, or an rtc element, the UA must pop the current node off the stack of open elements.

If a step requires the UA to generate implied end tags but lists an element to exclude from the process, then the UA must perform the above steps as if that element was not in the above list.

When the steps below require the UA to generate all implied end tags thoroughly, then, while the current node is a caption element, a colgroup element, a dd element, a dt element, an li element, an optgroup element, an option element, a p element, an rb element, an rp element, an rt element, an rtc element, a tbody element, a td element, a tfoot element, a th element, a thead element, or a tr element, the UA must pop the current node off the stack of open elements.
