How can I validate my Web page?

This screen is part of a Web Feed Reference section for the Web Feed Generator. Please ask us if you cannot find the answer to your question.

A number of Web authoring programs have HTML validation tools built in to them, to check your Web pages are properly formatted according to Web standards. You can also check your pages using the Internet services below; both allow you to paste the address of your Web page into a form to check your site directly, or upload a copy of your page from your computer.

• The W3C HTML & XHTML Validator is provided by the World Wide Web Consortium, the body that defines Web standards.
• The WDG HTML Validator is provided by the Web Design Group and has lots of supporting information to help you correct any problems.

The Web Feed Generator cleans up many common HTML errors and permits some markup that is not allowed in the standards, so it is not suitable for checking your Web pages.
