Freeformatter Validation Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

It is our considered opinion that for content editors of reasonably large chunks of HTML the HTML Validator at the Freeformatter<\/a> website can be a very useful tool. It saved our bacon one day with one of our blog postings where a “human scanning” of the code for 15 minutes produced no useful solution. Just copy and paste it into Freeformatter’s HTML Validator, and it will more than likely tell you where you went wrong. And you thought not giving the cat caviar was having no effect on its self esteem?! Should’a gon’ta Free Formatter’s!<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

There is an independent means by which you can check your HTML code to be compliant as valid HTML5 data.<\/p>\n

This service is run by the World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C<\/a> and this month is their 20th anniversary, so, thanks. Billions of people around the world got that little bit closer thanks to the “www”<\/i> and the brilliance of people like Tim Berners-Lee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Every now and then with all things “coding”<\/i> it can be good to have sanity checks from outside sources, and this service is great.<\/p>\n

Got rid of some warnings to do with the start BOM character (or Byte order mark<\/a>) via the use of this link<\/a> (was using vi<\/i><\/a> so used the “:set nobomb” before saving snippet of advice … worked a treat … thanks).<\/p>\n

Fixed up some bad HTML formatting within tutorial_options.php<\/a> regarding Extended Linux Crontab Curl Tutorial<\/a> landing page automation functionality too.<\/p>\n

You can display a button on your webpage if you like by following the instructions at W3C HTML5 Validator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are live runs showing the HTML5 validation for the “landing page” and its friends, here, at this domain:<\/p>\n
