Oh yes you are.

1) Put all tag names and attribute names in lower case.

2) Make sure every start-tag has an end-tag.  This rule does not apply to
empty tags, namely basefont, br, area, link, img, param, hr, input, col,
frame, isindex.  (If you don't know what some of these are, don't worry about it).

3) Replace the ">" at the end of an empty tag with " />".

4) Make sure all start-tags and end-tags are properly nested.

5) Make sure all attribute values are in quotation marks, either single or
double.

6) Make sure attributes like "checked", that don't have values, are
written "checked='checked'".

7) Any & and < characters, even in scripts or stylesheets, must be replaced
by &amp; and &lt; respectively.

8) Don't wrap scripts in comment markers (<!-- ... -->).

9) Make sure you use the semicolon after an entity reference like &aacute;.

That's all.
