Weblint is a syntax and minimal style checker for HTML: a perl script which
picks fluff off html pages, much in the same way traditional lint picks fluff
off C programs.
Changes are summarized below, see the ChangeLog file in the distribution for
more detail.
Thanks to everyone for patches, suggestions and bug reports,
neilb
Changes in Weblint 1.013
* Added a warning 'literal-metacharacter', which warns about
metacharacters included literally, where they should be represented
using entities. Currently just warns about >. Warning is enabled by
default. Simple testcase added to testsuite.
* The variable 'directory-index' can now be set to a comma-separated
list of filenames, if you want to allow multiple names for directory
index files, such as welcome.html or index.html. In your .weblintrc:
set directory-index = welcome.html, index.html
* Added support for the netscape extensions added in netscape 2:
- ENCTYPE attribute for FORM element
- USEMAP attribute for IMG element (client side image maps)
- MAP and AREA elements
* Added a warning 'require-doctype', which if results in a warning if a
page does not have a DOCTYPE as the first element. Disabled by default.
Not enabled with -pedantic.
* Removed the todo list from the weblint script. If the url-get
variable is set, then "weblint -todo" will pull down the todo
list from our ftp server, else the URL for the todo list is printed.
The 'url-get' variable is now undefined by default.
* Reformatted the text displayed with the -help and -U switches,
so that it will fit on a standard sized tty or PC.
* Fixed bug related to container elements where the closing tag
is optional, such as LI. If a comment was the last thing,
then weblint would warn that the container was empty. E.g.
<UL>
<LI>line 9
<!-- line 10 -->
<LI>line 11
</UL>
* The README was still claiming that weblint.ps was included with the
distribution. It now gives the URL for the copy on our ftp server.
* Added a semi-colon to a single statement in an else clause,
which was apparently causing problems under perl 4.019.
* Fixed a bug where enabling the java extension would also enable
the netscape extension.
* Fixed a couple'a bugs in the testsuite.
