Description Dario Niedermann 2018-08-24 10:08:27 UTC 
⋮ 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 "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: <https://www.darioniedermann.it/sw/mtaopts.html>
