1. Line 20 - <il> should be <li>
2. Line 21/22 - end tags should be </li>, instead of <li>
3. Line 29/30/31 - add </li> to the end of each line
4. Line 34 - each href should begin with the pound sign... as in <code><a href="#contents"></code>

That's all I see, but it might help with a few of your issues. Anyone else?

for each <li> put closing </li> and also for each <h2> put closing </h2> tag.

i guess the first mistake are the missing code tags

Try this...
