Change to

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

or

Here is a configuration method to turn off strict syntax checking for thymeleaf

1. In pom.xml Add dependency to file

   <groupId>net.sourceforge.nekohtml</groupId>
   <artifactId>nekohtml</artifactId>
   <version>1.9.21</version>
</dependency>
