Is there an Ant task to validate HTML (not XHTML)?
Hello dear Ant Users,
does someone know of an Ant task to validate HTML, e.g. HTML 4.01 Strict?
(not XHTML, I already validate XHTML using the xmlvalidate task)?
My google search for "Ant task to validate HTML" didn't seem to reveal
anything interesting.
Thanks and good bye

I just thought about creating a HtmlTidy-Task based on JTidy. I took a look at
JTidy's source. It looks extremely ugly. It looks like what it is: a
conversion from a tool written in a non-object oriented programming language.
The author has done a really great job at conversion to Java, but it's still
ugly.
Some files have several thousand lines of code.
That's too untypical for Java to me.
This project definitely needs some refactoring before someone writes an Ant
task for it.
And probably it's not up-to-date compared with the original tidy.
Bye

There is one already working here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/krysalis/krysalis-ant-tasks/src/java/org/krysalis/ant/taskdefs/
You can get a nightly from here:
http://gump.covalent.net/jars/2002-12-14/krysalis-ant-tasks/
This is the latest gump run:
http://cvs.apache.org/builds/gump/latest/krysalis-ant-tasks.html

Hello Ken,
thanks, I didn't think of tidy.
tidy -e does a good job, I thought it's just for cleaning up HTML, but it also
can check HTML. Thanks!
I don't know wether I will write a HtmlTidy-Task, probably no because
inserting tidy -e in a Makefile will do the job for me.

Not an ant task, but HtmlTidy does a good job -- might not be too hard to
wrap an ant task around it using the TidyLib -- see the sourceforge project
for details.
