Hey gang

I am looking for the best way to test WCAG SC 4.1 .. basically
validating HTML code.
What would be a recommended html validator that understands and
accepts ARIA mark up, and is accessible?
Cheers
-Birkir

Prior to having Policy Tester installed, we used Total Validator, available here:

Have you tried http://validator.nu/? It's open source, hosted on
Bitbucket<https://bitbucket.org/validator/validator/overview>,
and actively maintained by developers involved in W3C/WHATWG. You can also
use vnu <https://bitbucket.org/sideshowbarker/vnu/overview>, if you want to
run the validation locally. We built a Grunt
plugin<https://github.com/jzaefferer/grunt-html>on top of vnu to
validate files for jQuery UI.

Hello:

I confess that I haven't read all the posts on this topic, so
hopefully, I am not repeating aprevious post. I have used:
http://validator.w3.org/
There is also a validator for CSS. These tools take a bit of practice. Hope
this helps.

Regards,

Robert

Note: http://validator.nu/ has some different validation rules to the
W3C validation service as it checks for conformance with the WHATWG
LS, not the W3C HTML spec

FYI

if you are building a local version of validator.nu for w3c mode, you
need to invoke it like this: " ./build/build.py --w3cbranding build
run
