Validation Output: 2 Warnings

Below is a list of the warning message(s) produced when checking your document.

  1. Warning Line 44, Column 65: reference to non-SGML character
     <TD>&bull;&nbsp;[#] &nbsp; U+0263[&#0263;] &nbsp; U+0023[&#0023;] &nbsp;

    You've included a character reference to a character that is not defined in the document type you've chosen. This is most commonly caused by numerical references to characters from vendor proprietary character repertoires. Often the culprit will be fancy or typographical quote marks from either the Windows or Macintosh character repertoires.

    The solution is to reference UNICODE characters instead. A list of common characters from the Windows character repertoire and their UNICODE equivalents can be found in the document "On the use of some MS Windows characters in HTML" maintained by Jukka Korpela <jkorpela@cs.tut.fi>.

  2. Warning Line 48, Column 22: reference to non-SGML character

Congratulations

The document located at <http://web.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/~mcasquilho/text/L-writing.php> was successfully checked as HTML 4.0 Transitional. This means that the resource in question identified itself as "HTML 4.0 Transitional" and that we successfully performed a formal validation of it. The parser implementations we used for this check are based on OpenSP (SGML/XML).

"valid" Icon(s) on your Web page

To show your readers that you have taken the care to create an interoperable Web page, you may display this icon on any page that validates. Here is the HTML you could use to add this icon to your Web page:

Valid HTML 4.0 Transitional
  <p>
    <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img
      src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html40" alt="Valid HTML 4.0 Transitional" height="31" width="88"></a>
  </p>
  

A full list of icons, with links to alternate formats and colors, is available: If you like, you can download a copy of the icons to keep in your local web directory, and change the HTML fragment above to reference your local image rather than the one on this server.

Linking to this result

If you would like to create a link to this page (i.e., this validation result) to make it easier to revalidate this page in the future or to allow others to validate your page, the URI is <http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fweb.tecnico.ulisboa.pt%2F~mcasquilho%2Ftext%2FL-writing.php;ss=1;verbose=1> (or you can just add the current page to your bookmarks or hotlist).
