Chapter 7 - Error and Link Checking

Overview:

MSS HTML Editor has tools, which help you locate errors in your code. Error checking searches for unknown Tags, Arguments, Argument Values in some cases and if tags come in the right order. After the search is over you get an overview of all errors. By doubleclicking an error you are taken to it in the editor. The Link Validator locates all links in your document(s) and displays a list of them. If you click on a link you get a list of all references to that particular link. You can doubleclick a link or a reference to open it in the editor.

Checking Files:

Single File

Press the 'Check File' toolbar button or Select 'Check File' from the Tools menu. If you haven't saved your file it will be saved automatically.

Project

Press the 'Check Project' toolbar button or select 'Check Project' from the Project menu. Files, which weren't saved, will be saved automatically. All errors are marked with a red color. These marks works just like ordinary marks, except they are not affected by format commands. They are removed in the same way as ordinary marks.

Starting Link Validator:

Press the 'Validate Links' toolbar button or select 'Validate Links' from the Tools menu. To check an entire project, press the 'Project Links' toolbar button or select 'Validate Links' in the Project menu. Any unsaved files will be saved.

Using the Link Validator:

The Link Validator consists of two listboxes. The first box contains all links. The other one contains references to the selected link. If a link is referenced more than once it only counts as one link with multiple references. If you doubleclick a link, the link will be opened. If you doubleclick a reference, the file containing the link will be opened.

If you press the Edit Link button you can change the link to point to another file. All references will be changed. If the references are in different directories, relative links will be changed according to it. After you have used the Edit Link feature you must restart the Link Validator.

All links will be marked with a red color. These marks works just like ordinary marks, but they aren't affected by format commands. They can be removed in the same way.
