Hi, I've got a problem when I pass the html5 validator (http://validator.w3.org/) to my Moodle site (moodle 2.4.1).
Errors:
Bad value pragma for attribute http-equiv on element meta.
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />
Bad value expires for attribute http-equiv on element meta.
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />

Could anybody help me?
How to fix it?

I don't think Moodle is meant (yet?) to pass HTML5 validation. Why do you think it should, and why does it matter to you?
As of Moodle 2.4, we are using the HTML5 doctype. (See http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_2.4_release_notes#Themes.)
None of those errors are likely to cause your Moodle site to stop working. Still it would be good to fix them. If you can be bothered, it would be worth creating a tracker issue.
Actually, don't make a new tracker issue. It has already been reported: MDL-35590
(Thanks to Andrew Nichols for pointing that out.)
