set: 4
code: 422
title: Unprocessable Entity
references:
    "Rails HTTP Status Symbol": ":unprocessable_entity"
    "Symfony HTTP Status Constant": "Response::HTTP_UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY"

The server understands the content type of the request entity (hence a [415 Unsupported Media Type](/415) status code is inappropriate), and the syntax of the request entity is correct (thus a [400 Bad Request](/400) status code is inappropriate) but was unable to process the contained instructions.

For example, this error condition may occur if an XML request body contains well-formed (i.e., syntactically correct), but semantically erroneous, XML instructions.

Remove markdown line limit (#52) * Removes line length limit from Status Code Markdown This will make the data easier to use when we develop the API, it needs to be consistent, arbitrary new lines (especially in text format) will be a major issue, so some sort of workaround would have to be implemented, easier to simply fix the source files. * Removes line length limit from misc.
