Validation related question: Error at line 7. Any idea what is the error?

Hi all, I get 1 error at line 7 and 3 warnings in validation step in Website testing. Here is the line:

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Any help is appreciated in finding what the error is.
Thank you.

Hi a k,

As Theodore said, you need to use markdown when posting code otherwise it won't appear correctly or at all, you can read more about it at Posting Code to the Forum.

To fix this error you simply need to URL encode the pipe | symbol which results in %7C, simply change the url to reflect this and your code will validate.

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One%7COpen+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Happy coding!
