(v3.5.0) HTML: validator

Maintainer: LCD 47 lcd047@gmail.com

You can instruct syntastic to use the online service, or you can install the checker from sources, and tell Syntastic to use the local validator. See the project's page for more details about validator.

Requirement:

This checker uses curl.

Checker options:

g:syntastic_html_validator_api (string; default: 'http://validator.nu/')

URL of the service to use for checking; leave it to the default to run the checks against http://validator.nu/, or set it to http://localhost:8888/ if you're running a local service as per the official docs

g:syntastic_html_validator_parser (string; default: empty)

parser to use; legal values are: xml, xmldtd, html, html5, html4, html4tr; set it to html5 to check HTML5 files; see the wiki for reference

g:syntastic_html_validator_nsfilter (string; default: empty)

sets the nsfilter for the parser; see the wiki for details

Notes:

Non-zero exit codes from curl are signaled by syntastic with messages such as:

syntastic: error: checker html/validator returned abnormal status 26

You can lookup the meaning of these codes in curl's manual.

This checker doesn't call the makeprgBuild() function, and thus it ignores the usual g:syntastic_html_validator_<option> variables. The only exception is g:syntastic_html_validator_exec, which can still be used to override curl's executable.
