Yes, that is why I suggested tidy in addition to the other online
validators. If one's editor tool doesn't help, tidy is close at hand.
Can standardize the coding format. Can help fix errors. Can point out
errors.

I really don't like the output of the WYSIWYG HTML editors I've seen. A
real text editor with HTML syntax parser for assistance is probably
best for anyone willing to read HTML.

I think CVS or Subversion /usr/ports/devel/subversion is among the best
"content management systems" available.
