WebStorm HTML formatting error - Expecting newline or semicolon


I am editing an HTML page in WebStorm. For some reason it's treating regular text like a JavaScript statement and throwing errors on code check 'Expecting newline or semicolon'. If the text is within an anchor tag it does not give an error.

Is this a bug? My JavaScript version is set to ES6.

Solution

    1. Go to Settings/Preferences | Editor | Language Injections
    2. Please remove 3rd rule from the bottom (the one that has "IDE" in Scope column)

    You somehow (accidentally) created such wrong injection rule and now every <li> tag is treated as AngularJS hence the warnings.
