Lisp error: (void-variable <!DOCTYPE) when loading bookmark+

Lisp error: (void-variable <!DOCTYPE) when loading bookmark+

[epowell]

I just tried to load the bookmark+ package for the first time.  I downloaded
all the .el files listed on the wiki and put the require statement in my
.emacs file.
My emacs version is: 21.4.1.
Below is the error I got: 

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable <!DOCTYPE)

You downloaded an HTML file with a <!DOCTYPE ...> header. Maybe that
file contains the actual Emacs Lisp file.

Thank you, Teemu!  It works perfectly now.

You may like el-get.el or package.el (or both) to manage your package
installations.  It's much easier than downloading source code yourself.
