Getting GML error message where no error exist

I've been wrestling for nearly an hour with an error message that's popping up in an article I'm working on in the Peer Review forum ('Asatru: A Northern Tradition', now retitled 'Asatru: A Teutonic Tradition').
The problem is that the following error pops up in the middle of a word:
"End tag 'p' does not match the start tag 'P'." I have been through the article, so has my sys admin/programmer husband, and there seems to be no reason for it. All the Ps are where they're supposed to be, as are all the /s and <>s. Even when I deleted the offending paragraph and rewrote it, the error message came back (in the middle of a different word). I can't find a way to save it as a draft version so I can leave it for now, and I can't add the entry until the problem's resolved. Now can I find any reference to this problem in the entire technical section.
What's the best course of action?

Well, I've saved the article itself on my hard-drive, and will see if simply pasting it back into the edit box will work tomorrow.

Please paste the code you're trying to use into a new Guide Entry page so that someone can have a look at it.
Is the problem due to a mismatch of case? In GuideML (which is not HTML even if it looks a bit like it) is not the same as so This is a paragraph will produce the error you quoted.

GuideML is case sensitive. The error msg means that you start a paragraph with an uppercase and finish it with a lowercase . You need to check through it for that, if it is saved, you can use notepad's (or similar) search function to find "", that will be quicker.

HURRAH! You are technogeniuses!
Yes, it's the case-sensitivity that's doing it. My husband has just fallen around laughing at this...
I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!

To be honest when someone says that their sys admin/programmer husband can't find the problem I fall around laughing. It's a sure sign that it'll be easy to solve

Problem is, he really IS the whizz-kid type. If it can be fixed, he can usually fix it. Other problem is it was around 1am here in eastern US, and all he wanted to do was go to sleep!
