Well - the problem is that there are no subparts in your template but there
are some marks.
A subpart will always use at least two lines to mark the start and the end
of the subpart.

marks {
    content < styles.content.get
    content_normal < styles.content.get
    content_left < styles.content.getLeft
    content_right < styles.content.getRight
}

Try this and tell us if it works.
