RE: HTML Validator Software?

There is nothing wrong with the W3C validator. I am looking for more of a
desktop application solution just for the simple fact is that I believe it
would encourage the other workers to use it more frequently than using an
online tool.

I must admit that my "quest" for getting everyone to validate and write
their code in standard format is a never ending battle.

Is there something that you're looking for that the W3C validator does not
offer? The W3C validator can validate local files and online files. Is it a
case of developers not having an Internet connection?
