weblint-1.020: description + notes

---

Weblint is a Perl script that picks fluff off HTML pages. Weblint includes the following features:

• by default checks for HTML 3.2 (Wilbur)
• 46 different checks and warnings
• Warnings can be enabled/disabled individually, as per your preference
• basic structure and syntax checks
• warnings for use of unknown elements and element attributes.
• context checks (where a tag must appear within a certain element).
• overlapped or illegally nested elements.
• do IMG elements have ALT text?
• flags obsolete elements.
• support for user and site configuration files
• stylistic checks
• checks for html which is not portable across all browsers
• flags markup embedded in comments, since this can confuse some browsers
• support for Netscape, and Microsoft HTML extensions

Certain versions of Perl have bugs that are triggered by weblint. You shouldn't experience problems if you have 4.036, 5.002, or later.
