Courses Plus Student 4,139 PointsMy html code doesn't pass validation.
Hi, all. I tried to validate my html and finally got an error. I figured out that a source of the error is a string: "<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800'>". And this string was generated by Google API. So, could you help me to find out why it is? And how can I avoid it?

If the error is coming from the google fonts url then it might be the pipe character | You can url encode that character if you'd like to get rid of the error. Replace | with %7C That's the code for the pipe character (vertical bar)
If it was something else then please be more specific and someone can try to help you.
As Emanuel mentioned, you may not have to worry about it.

Courses Plus Student 4,139 PointsThanks a lot! I replaced "|" with "%7C" as Jason suggested, and code finally passed validation.
