PDF/UA-1 rule 7.2-19: L element contains … element(s) instead of L, LI or Caption

Not fixed automatically structure, list

What veraPDF reports

L element contains %1 element(s) instead of L, LI or Caption

veraPDF rule 7.2-19 = ISO 14289-1:2014 clause 7.2, test 19, checked on PDF object SEL.

What the requirement says

L element may contain only L, LI and Caption elements

Can it be fixed automatically?

Not fixed automatically. This failure needs the authoring tool or manual remediation; the automatic fix does not change it.

How to fix it by hand

List tags (L, LI, Lbl, LBody) come from real lists in the source document: use the authoring tool's list formatting instead of typed bullets, or correct the tag tree in a PDF editor.
