HTML Validator on a Mac or Linux

Unfortunately the installation of Wine can be time-consuming and you may run into some issues (as I did but I figured them out). When you do get it working there are some limitations: The interface may not appear as 'polished' as it is when run on Windows. There may also be some display (GUI) anomalies. Other features that may not work are 1) downloading and link checking HTTPS links, 2) the integrated web browser, 3) update checks (because they use HTTPS).
