Age data-sd-animate=” — What It Is and How to Fix It

If you’re seeing a title or text like Age appear in a webpage, forum post, or game mod description, it usually means HTML markup was accidentally left in plain text. That can break rendering, truncate titles, or expose raw code instead of the intended content. Below is a concise explanation of what’s happening, why it matters, and how to fix it.

What this string is

  • ** is the start of an HTML element (a span) with a custom attribute (data-sd-animate) but it’s incomplete — the attribute value and closing bracket are missing.
  • When placed in text without proper escaping, browsers or renderers may show the raw markup or treat it as broken HTML, causing display issues.

Common causes

  1. Copy-pasting content from a rich-text editor or web inspector that includes partial HTML.
  2. Truncated or improperly sanitized input from user submissions or CMS fields.
  3. Broken string concatenation in code that builds titles or HTML snippets.
  4. Markdown or WYSIWYG editors that strip parts of attributes but leave the tag start.

Why it matters

  • Looks unprofessional and confuses readers.
  • Can break page layout or prevent CSS/JS that targets that element from running.
  • In some contexts, incomplete HTML can affect accessibility or SEO.

Quick fixes (pick one depending on context)

  1. Plain text title (safe, simple): Remove the span entirely so the title reads normally.
    • Example: Age of Empires III — Icons
  2. Proper HTML (if you need animation): Close and complete the tag.
    • Example: Age of Empires III
  3. Escape HTML when storing/displaying as text: Replace < with < and > with >.
    • Example: Age data-sd-animate=“” — shows raw code safely.
  4. Fix the source: Locate where the title is generated (CMS field, template, or JS) and ensure full tag strings or stripping of tags.
  5. Sanitize user input: Use an HTML sanitizer library (e.g., DOMPurify) to remove incomplete or unsafe tags.

How to choose

  • If the title should be plain text, use option 1 or 3.
  • If you intended inline animation or styling, use option 2 and ensure the attribute value and closing bracket are correct.
  • Always sanitize inputs from users to avoid broken markup and potential security issues.

Example: Corrected title for a game article

  • Plain text: Age of Empires III — Icons
  • With an animated span: Age of Empires III — Icons
