Using CSE Validator with EditPlus

Post by srdjan »

Hi
I am trying to use Validator with EditPlus editor. EP has good support for external tools. Currently (by reading CSE help) I am able to pass file to validate document and to see the result within Notepad or within CSE Validator itself. But I would like to see the result within Editplus output window.
Editplus has "capture output" option for external tools. My question is: is there commandline switch which sends result back to app which started it?
Thanks

Hello,

Sorry, no. CSE HTML Validator does not output in that manner.

There are some options which may help though, in the Classic page/tab in the Validator Engine Options. You can specify an "output viewer" (maybe you can direct it this way?) and you can specify a filename that CSE HTML Validator will save the output to ("output file").

For example, if EditPlus has a "-c" option to open a file in the capture window, then you could change the "output viewer" in CSE HTML Validator to something like "editplus.exe -c".

Thanks anyway

Opening file in CSE Validator seems much better idea...
