MARKLESS_ELEMENT_MODULE_SCOPE

element() cannot be created at module scope: a Markless compiler error.

Error from the compiler, while it builds your .tsrx files.

What happened

Markless prints the message, the reason, and a suggestion:

MARKLESS_ELEMENT_MODULE_SCOPE: Cannot create element handle "<name>" at module scope.
Element handles are per-render DOM locators. A module-scope handle would be shared across requests and cannot point at one document-owned host element.
Move element() creation into the component that owns the host element and bind it with el={handle}.

Words in angle brackets change from case to case.

How to fix it

Start with the suggestion in the message above.
