Validation

Check documents before they leave the editor. Check the active document, review the results and return to the source to correct markup issues before publishing.

Check HTML online

Run Tools ▸ Validate ▸ Current Document (W3C) (Shift+Alt+W) to send the active HTML source to the online validator. This check needs an internet connection. Live Document (W3C) is shown in the menu but is not available yet: validating the live document needs the rendered page's HTML from the preview.

Review the results

Read the reported errors, warnings and other messages while the document is open.

Return to the source

Select a result with a location to reveal the relevant line in the editor. Correct the markup and run the check again.

Check XML locally

Use Tools ▸ Validate ▸ As XML (Shift+Alt+X) for a local well-formedness check. This checks XML syntax rather than HTML conformance.
