Why is the title of my html document red?

I am coding in vscode and the title of the document is red. The code works though. Why is it red?

I already tried closing and opening it but nothing worked. I am a new developer so I could need a detailed explanation if thats possible.

    In VSCode, red typically indicates an error or an unrecognized element. However, if your code is functioning correctly despite the red color, it might be a false positive or a specific configuration or extension issue.

    Here are a few possible reasons why the title might be red:

    Syntax Error: There might be a syntax error in your HTML code that is not immediately apparent but is causing VSCode to flag it as invalid. Check for any missing brackets (< >), quotation marks (""), or other syntax errors around your tag.

    Extensions or Themes: The color scheme in your VSCode may be configured to display elements in red. This could be due to the theme you’re using or any extensions that modify syntax highlighting. Check your VSCode settings, particularly those related to themes and syntax highlighting.

    Language Mode: Ensure that VSCode recognizes your file as an HTML document. Sometimes, if the language mode is set incorrectly, it can affect syntax highlighting. You can check and change the language mode at the bottom right corner of the VSCode window. It should display "HTML" or "HTML (HyperText Markup Language)".

    Linting or Code Analysis: If you have any linting extensions installed (e.g., ESLint, TSLint, HTMLHint), they might be flagging the tag for some reason. Check the output panel or terminal for any messages from these linters.

    VSCode Issues: Occasionally, VSCode may have bugs or glitches that cause incorrect syntax highlighting. Make sure you’re using the latest version of VSCode and consider restarting the editor to see if the issue persists.

    Workspace or Project Settings: If you’re working in a specific workspace or project, there might be settings or configurations within that environment that affect how VSCode displays syntax highlighting. Review any project-specific settings or configurations.

    Here are a few common reasons why the title might be red:

    Unsaved Changes: If you have made changes to the file but haven’t saved them yet, the title will appear in red to indicate that the changes are unsaved.
    File Type: Some file types may have specific styling applied to their titles. For example, if you are working with a file type that VSCode recognizes as needing attention or as potentially problematic (like certain configuration files), it might display the title in red to draw your attention to it.
    Configuration or Theme: Your VSCode configuration or theme settings might be causing the title to appear red. Check your VSCode settings and installed themes to see if there are any settings related to tab colors or file titles.
    Extension Behavior: Sometimes, extensions can modify the appearance of files in VSCode. If you have any extensions installed that affect file handling or appearance, they could be the cause of the red title.

    Here are several common factors that could lead to the title appearing in red:

    1. Unsaved Modifications:

      • If you’ve made alterations to the document but haven’t saved them yet, the title may be highlighted in red as an indicator that changes are pending.

    2. File Format:

      • Certain file formats might come with predefined styles for their titles. For instance, if you’re dealing with a file type that your text editor recognizes as requiring attention or having potential issues, it could display the title in red to capture your notice.

    3. Configuration or Theme Settings:

      • The appearance of the title could be influenced by your text editor’s configuration or theme preferences. Review your editor’s settings and active themes to identify any configurations related to tab colors or file titles.

    4. Extension Impact:

      • Extensions integrated into your text editor can sometimes alter the visual aspects of files. If you have extensions installed that influence file handling or appearance, they might be responsible for the red title. Check your extension list for any potential sources of this color change.
