Markup Validation Service

Notes and Potential Issues

The following notes and warnings highlight missing or conflicting information which caused the validator to perform some guesswork prior to validation, or other things affecting the output below. If the guess or fallback is incorrect, it could make validation results entirely incoherent. It is highly recommended to check these potential issues, and, if necessary, fix them and re-validate the document.

1. Mismatch between Public and System identifiers in the DOCTYPE declaration

   This document uses an inconsistent DOCTYPE declaration. The Public Identifier -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN declares the HTML 4.01 Transitional document type, but the associated System Identifier http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd does not match this document type.

   The recommended System Identifier for HTML 4.01 Transitional is http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd.

   The safest way to use a correct DOCTYPE declaration is to copy and paste one from the recommended list and avoid editing that part of your markup by hand.

Congratulations

The document located at <https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Moralia/An_seni_respublica_gerenda_sit*.html> was successfully checked as HTML 4.01 Transitional. This means that the resource in question identified itself as "HTML 4.01 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:

  <p>
    <a href="https://validator.w3.org/markup/check?uri=referer"><img
      src="https://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401" alt="Valid HTML 4.01 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. See also our help items related to documents transferred over secure protocols for these icons and the "uri=referer" feature.

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 <https://validator.w3.org/markup/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2F1.800.gay%3A443%2Fhttps%2F1.800.gay%2Fhttps%2Fpenelope.uchicago.edu%2FThayer%2FE%2FRoman%2FTexts%2FPlutarch%2FMoralia%2FAn_seni_respublica_gerenda_sit%2A.html;verbose=1> (or you can just add the current page to your bookmarks or hotlist).
