Warren Wade Visualforce Error: "Invalid child of messaging:emailTemplate."
I'm receiving the following error for what I hope will be a simple Case Created Email Template:
Below is my VF Template. Any help would be appreciated. I'm new to writing apex.
Only messaging components are allowed as children of messaging:emailTemplate.
Below is my VF Template. Any help would be appreciated. I'm new to writing apex.

Try with below code. That should help
<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Test Case Creation" recipientType="Contact" relatedToType="Case" replyTo="email@address.com" > <messaging:htmlEmailBody> <html> <body> <STYLE type="text/css"> TH {font-size: 11px; font-face: arial;background: #CCCCCC; border-width: 1; text-align: center } TD {font-size: 11px; font-face: verdana } TABLE {border: solid #CCCCCC; border-width: 1} TR {border: solid #CCCCCC; border-width: 1} </STYLE> <p>This is an automated confirmation to confirm that we have received your case.

I inserted your code and noticed that you added some lines for the reference field; however, the issue I'm currently facing is the error message (below). Do you have any insight into this error?
If you closely look at the visualforce template that you initially posted, you'll find that template is not correctly compiled because of some typo's like
<apex:outputtext> value="{!relatedTo.Subject}"</apex:outputtext>
In the example above, value attribute is not placed correctly, i.e. it should be part of the outputtext tag and not placed between the start and close outputtext tags.
Similarly, you have few more typo's in your template and hence you get this error.
Hope that answers your question.
