Syntax Check

hsc performs a syntax check with your source. It testes it for things like missing closing tags, illegal nestings or missing required tags.

It also tests attributes for tags, e.g. allowed values for the ALIGN option of <IMG>.

However, the syntax check of hsc is not very powerful compaired to tools that only handle this task.

The errors hsc handles are of the kind "Well, now a have to program this if (..) to avoid an enforcer hit/segmentation fault, why not display an error message now..". So if hsc does not report any syntax errors, it doesn't mean that your source is 100% correct.

For a more complete and strict test, take a look at the related stuff.
