- more files correctly.

- for newer tags.

- Now validates character entities.
-
- New program options. Autosave HTML Configuration
- option, Enable warnings option, more.

- Unregistered version limited to maximum of 50 line
- HTML documents. Also added a counter to track
- unregistered usage.
-
- Option to display the error messages by the actual
- HTML source that generated the error message.
-
- Removed many internal program limitations such as
- the maximum HTML document line length and
- the number of allowable tag names, attributes,
- and attribute values.
-
- New HTML Configuration file format. Allows smaller
- configuration files on disk and fewer configuration
- limitations. The old format is not compatible.

- comments.
-
- Ability to specify a viewer application other than
- Microsoft Windows Notepad.
-

-
- ---------------------------
- June 23, 1996 Released version 1.00 ahead of schedule
-
- Can Drag and Drop files to be processed by a tool.
- Can also process a dropped file with a tool,
- then validate it. That is, you can select whether
- you want to 1) use a tool on dropped files, 2) use
- the validator on dropped files, or 3) use both.
-
- Drag and Drop HTML file(s) onto HTML Validator for
- instant validation! Use Explorer to sort by
- type and then easily select the list of HTML files
- to validate and drop the whole list onto
- HTML Validator for the fastest validation (faster
- than right clicking and selecting 'validate'--
- if you have it set up for this feature). Does not
- work with directories.
-
- Added Edit Last Document to File menu so you can
- launch Notepad to edit the last document
- validated by hitting Alt-F12 or selecting this item.
-
- Now reports number of lines ignored in validation
- (i.e. for <SCRIPT>...</SCRIPT>)
-
- Results of a validation can now be placed in the same
- directory as the HTML document with the same name as
- the HTML document but with a '.val' extension. Using
- Explorer, you can now validate all HTML files in a
- directory at one time and then go back and check
- each .val file individually. Thanks to Sebouh
- Karakashian for this suggestion.
-
- Program now knows whether it is registered or not
