Why do I get <!DOCTYPE> in the results of pages that start with a
<!DOCTYPE...> tag?


Could you tell me more description with some example?


My homepage starts like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Philip's Homepage - About Me</title>


The search results show up like this:

 2. Philip's Homepage - About Me (score: 66)

NMZ.field.summary contains:

My question is, why is <!DOCTYPE> in the summary?  Shouldn't it be
removed just like all other html tags.  This also happens with any tag
that isn't recognised.  I think that anything within <> should be
stripped from html files.
