    <thetext>&amp;vellip; i.e.: vertical ellipsis -- 3 dots on top of each other. This HTML entity is correctly rendered by my browser (PaleMoon), but the Validator returns this:

-----
Line 2, Column 2: cannot generate system identifier for general entity &quot;vellip&quot;

&amp;vellip;

An entity reference was found in the document, but there is no reference by that name defined.
[...]
-----

I am not using this entity inside a URL, rather inside the HTML text. This is the page that found this problem: &lt;https://www.darioniedermann.it/sw/mtaopts.html&gt;</thetext>
