@ngdoc error @name $compile:tplrt @fullName Invalid Template Root @description When a directive is declared with `template` (or `templateUrl`) and `replace` mode on, the template must have exactly one root element. That is, the text of the template property or the content referenced by the templateUrl must be contained within a single html element. For example, '

blah blah blah

' instead of simply 'blah blah blah'. Otherwise, the replacement operation would result in a single element (the directive) being replaced with multiple elements or nodes, which is unsupported and not commonly needed in practice. For example a directive with definition: ``` myModule.directive('myDirective', function factory() { return { ... replace: true, templateUrl: 'someUrl' ... } }); ``` And a template provided at URL `someUrl`. The template must be an html fragment that has only a single root element, like the `div` element in this template: ```
Hello World!
``` An an invalid template to be used with this directive is one that defines multiple root nodes or elements. For example: ``` Hello World! ```
