More information about using the tools.

Validation Modes

When selecting the validator tool as the Tool To Use in the Batch Wizard Options General tab, you may be able to select an additional option that lets you further specify what type of validation (validation mode) you would like to perform, such as "errors only" or "errors and warnings only". You must be using a configuration file that supports this additional option or "normal" will be the only choice.

About the 'Spell Check' Tool

•The spell check tool may not ignore words contained between the open and end tag for elements that are set to "ignore to close" (normally the "script" and "style" elements), while the validator tool would ignore these words. This is normal  behavior.
•The misspelled words and the repeated words messages are automatically upgraded to warning messages (the options to upgrade those messages to warnings are automatically enabled).

Link Checking

•Enable link checking - Check this box to check the links of documents that are validated with the Batch Wizard. You must be using a compatible configuration file, such as the one included with HTML Validator or no links will be extracted and checked. Enabling this option may considerably increase the time needed to validate documents because link checking may be time consuming, especially when a link times out. Therefore, the Batch Wizard may appear to stop while checking links. However, several methods are used to increase the speed of the link checking, such as checking multiple links at a time and using a link cache. HTML Validator does not support link checking of all types of links. Currently, HTML Validator will check file, folder, HTTP, and HTTPS links. FTP links are currently not supported. This option is not enabled by default.

NOTE: Link checking must be enabled to generate link reports.
