**Reproduction:**
```auto
git clone --single-branch -b hugo-forum-topic-36924 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-forum-topic-36924
cd hugo-forum-topic-36924
```
With hugo 0.110.0, I can build this cloned test site without problems:
```auto
$ hugo
Start building sites …
hugo v0.110.0-e32a493b7826d02763c3b79623952e625402b168+extended windows/amd64 BuildDate=2023-01-17T12:16:09Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

With hugo 0.111.2, however, building the test site fails:
```auto
$ hugo
Start building sites …
hugo v0.111.2-4164f8fef9d71f50ef3962897e319ab6219a1dad+extended windows/amd64 BuildDate=2023-03-05T12:32:20Z VendorInfo=gohugoio
Error: Error building site: "C:\path\to\hugo-forum-topic-36924\content\diagrams\activity-diagram-actdiag-from-file\index.md:9:1": failed to extract shortcode: unclosed shortcode "kroki"

This isn’t a regression, this is an improvement. We now detect unclosed shortcodes that needs to be closed.

The new behavior is correct, as per the [docs](https://gohugo.io/templates/shortcode-templates/#inner):
> Any shortcode that refers to .Inner must be closed or self-closed.
