IMHO, the W3C HTML Validator https://validator.w3.org/ has always done a good job for validating HTML, both off- and online, so I have no intention to reinvent the wheel with a new tool. I just tested their new version, Nu Html Checker https://validator.w3.org/nu/about.html running a small script to validate the Fossil built-in web pages. Maybe this discussion should be continued on the fossil-dev list instead. Anyway, here goes the script (run it anywhere inside a Fossil repository): ------------------- #!/bin/sh # Validate Fossil built-in web pages with the W3C Nu HTML Checker # https://validator.w3.org/nu/about.html # The validator requires Java 8 to be installed. # Install prequisites (tested on Ubuntu): # sudo apt-get install default-jre # wget https://github.com/validator/validator/releases/download/17.3.0/vnu.jar_17.3.0.zip # unzip vnu.jar_17.3.0.zip mkdir -p fhtml for w in `fossil help -w | xargs printf "%s\n"` do printf "GET $w HTTP/1.0\n\n" | fossil test-http > fhtml/${w}.html grep -q 'Content-Type: text/html' fhtml/${w}.html if [ $? -ne 0 ];then # Delete non-HTML files rm fhtml/${w}.html else # Strip HTTP header from HTML files sed -i '1,/^\r\{0,1\}$/d' fhtml/${w}.html fi done java -jar dist/vnu.jar fhtml/* > validate.log 2>&1 ------------------- Short resume of validation result: There are lots of closing </input> tags in the Fossil HTML, which is invalid in HTML5. Just remove them. For other errors, check validate.log BR, Johan _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
