Alternatively, ignore the messages. The use of “&”, when followed by a name, which is not followed by a semicolon, is a violation of HTML 4.01 rules. But it does not cause any actual harm. Browsers and search engines take the “&” as a data character, not as starting an entity reference, provided that the name is not an entity name as per HTML 4.01. This error recovery has been formally described and made mandatory in the HTML5 CR. Yucca
