SonarQube: Remove the extra characters before the open tag

Question

I have this code in my file index.phtml. This code is a part of a page:

<br/><br/>
<div id="view-content">
    <p>
        blablablablablablablabla
        <strong>
            blabla
        </strong>
        blabla
        <strong>
            blabla
        </strong>
    </p>
</div>

I use SonarQube and it displays this bug:

Remove the extra characters before the open tag

I don't understand this error message.
