Even VS comes with a verification utility for HTML files I am missing something:
  • <title></title> must not be empty

  • always provide a DOCTYPE

  • provide meaningful description meta tags

  • ...


The list above are W3C recommendations.

This is an interesting idea, I am just wondering how useful VA would be here, compared to existing validation services and tools.

Since VS does not offer such checks it would be useful for developers writing "good" web applications / pages.

VA needs not to implement each rule itself. It just needs to consult http://validator.w3.org and visualize the result within VS.

A solution wide check would be also helpful.

This is an interesting idea, and we do see the appeal:

case=53428

But it is unlikely we will try to do anything with this any time soon. Currently we have a lot of other outstanding features to look at, and this is a little outside of our area.

If you have a local tool, perhaps a web browser or web browser addin that can perform these checks you could try setting up an IDE command or macro to send the current HTML file to the web browser, for it to be analysed there?
