Tidy: Notice: numeric character reference "..." doesn't end in ';'

Cause:

The error is caused by an improperly terminated numeric character reference.

In HTML 4, this is a notice message or recommendation, not an error. In XHTML, however, it is an error.

Example:

Entity "&#160" doesn't end in ";"

Some&#160&#160spaces

Some  spaces

Solution:

Add a ";" at the end of each numeric character reference.
