a simple tag cannot have additional parameters

Just started using OpenEMM so I could be pulling something stupid. Hopefully you can tell me that. Creating my first mailing for a test, I get this error which I can't pinpoint exactly.

console_stderr.log wrote:triggerMailing: java.lang.Exception: Error while trying to query block 1 :org.agnitas.backend.EMMTagException: ERROR-Code AGN-2007: a simple tag cannot have additional parameters!

I've narrowed it down to a problem in my HTML. Why/how does OpenEMM process the HTML and what is it trying to limit me?

I've looked over the HTML and it appears to be valid for e-mail. As in, HTML 3.. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Could you post the HTML code in question here?

At first look it seems to be ok except for a missing </font> tag - and maybe some more missing tags, did not check everything.

Therefore, could you please first try again with validated HTML code? Maybe this confuses the OpenEMM parser. Thanks!

That appears to be it. I supposed I'll keep a stricter eye next time. Thanks ma.
