We have need for a validator that checks only tags such as <ul> <b> <br> <li> and basic <table> tags. Our biggest problem is table tags that arent closed.
Writing our own rules would be cool which looks like you have.
However, we dont validate entire pages, we need to validate a block of text that is programmatically inserted into a page... So there will never be a HEAD or BODY tag, etc.
Can your application do this from a batch file?

Can HTML validator exclude certain checking?

Re: Can HTML validator exclude certain checking?
Yes! If you validate a block of HTML, then CSE will assume it is in the proper section... so if you validate a chunk of HTML and the first tag is "table", then it checks it assuming it is a chunk that belongs in a "body" section, so it won't generate errors for not having "body" tags.Chris13 wrote:However, we dont validate entire pages, we need to validate a block of text that is programmatically inserted into a page...

For example, it would generate this message when checking a block of HTML that is a table and starts with a "table" tag:
The first tag in the document was out of range. The document has been checked with the assumption that a block of HTML that belongs in a <html><body> ... </body></html> section is being validated.
