Server-Side Template Syntax Errors
Server-side rendered pages fail to load with template syntax errors. Browser shows 500 error, server logs show the template couldn't be parsed. Changes to template files aren't working as expected.
Template syntax is close to correct but has subtle errors that prevent rendering.

How to Fix It
Check template syntax carefully: matching tags, correct prefixes (th:if, th:each). Use IDE with template support for syntax highlighting. Review server logs for exact parse error and line number. Test variable is available: add {{ variable }} to confirm. Use try-catch or safe navigation in templates. Enable strict mode to catch errors early.
