Well, the W3C Markup Validator is just a "thin" wrapper around the OpenSP SGML processor (the onsgmls command line too to be precise), it just does some character encoding detection and deals with mime types and doctypes, other than that it's just a HTML formatter. With my (experimental) HTML::Encoding, HTML::Doctype, SGML::Parser::OpenSP and the (experimental, only in CVS) OpenSP version 1.5.2 you could write a command line tool for that in < 100 lines, see e.g. the script at <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qa-dev/2004Nov/0002>. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
