Valadation errors in links

[caggens]

When I link to the following page, it causes my page (http://www.unl.edu/roughcilicia/publication.shtml) to fail valadation:

Is there a way to make my page valadate and keep the link?

Thanks!

Hey Christy,

The validator is complaining about what it thinks is an HTML entity. The short of it is, anywhere you have an ampersand (&) within your code, you need to replace that with &

The long answer is that glyphs that are not in the standard character set are represented by html entities, which allow a non-standard character glyph to be represented in an HTML document. You can read more information and see the representation for other html entities here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp

Good luck!

Thanks!

I thought that replacing "&" with "&" would cause the browser to not find the page, but it still works and now it valadates too.
