Auto-Correct To Valid Markup?

9 June 2003

A List Apart has done an interview with Anil Dash concerning standards compliance in TypePad.

As I read the interview, it dawned on me that there ought to be a tool that ”forces” me to write valid XHTML-Strict or Transitional markup. I’d tell the tool at the start of a new page that XHTML-Strict is what I was going for. Then, using some variation of auto-correct technology, the tool should alert me when I’m about to invalidate the page.

Does NoteTab Pro do this? Can I tell it that I’m producing an XHTML-Transitional page and have it limit my menu of tags to only those that ”fit?” I don’t know, but I intend to find out.
