The Markup Validation Service is a validator by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that allows Internet users to check pre-HTML5 HTML and XHTML documents for well-formed markup against a document type definition (DTD). Markup validation is an important step towards ensuring the technical quality of web pages.
This section gives examples of diagnostics generated by the markup validation service, and suggests possible fixes. Diagnostics are by line and column of the generated HTML for the page. It may be helpful to obtain the HTML in order to understand the diagnostic. For example, if you using the Firefox browser, you can type control-U to see the HTML.

In HTML and XML, a numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Coded Character Set/Unicode code point, and uses the format: &#xhhhh;. or &#nnnn; where the x must be lowercase in XML documents, hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form, and nnnn is the code point in decimal form.
Example 1: legacy code may have been designed for ASCII input but now the input is UTF-8. Example 2: legacy code may have been compiled and tested on 32-bit architectures, but when compiled on 64-bit architectures, new arithmetic problems may occur (e.g., invalid signedness tests, invalid type casts, etc.). Example 3: legacy code may have been ...
