| how can i configure tidy so that it does the simplist validation?
i=2Ee. all i want is for it to check if htere are missing or mismatched
tags, and report to me which line it happened.
currently in my website development, i use Mac's iCab browser for the
validation service. But it's rathe ra manual GUI based process. I'd
like to use tidy or similar tool for batch checking. Are there other
tools?
Thanks.

| ugh.... sorry for the post... looks like what i wanted is simply
tidy -e file.html
However, ugh, immediately i find a serious bug. When using -utf8, as in
tidy -utf8 -e file.html
tidy simply returns:
Info: Document content looks like HTML 3.2
No warnings or errors were found.
even though the file.html has lots of obvious mismatched tags.
what a OpenSource crap.

| here's is a simple sample html where
tidy -utf8 index.html
chocks.

| This problem is indeed a bug, but in version
=E2=80=9CHTML Tidy for Mac OS X released on 1st December 2002=E2=80=9D
using a 2005 version fixed this software flaw.
