HTML Validator (with tidy)

HTML Validator (with tidy) is a mozilla extension for HTML validation by Marc Gueury. Unlike Web Developer Extension, it doesn't use a third party server to validate HTML. Instead, it uses HTMLTidy, which is intergrated with this extension. So dynamic pages can be validated too.

To validate a page, view page source (View > Page Source or just press CTRL+U). Source window is splitted in 3 parts - source, list of errors and help. It is possible to clean up HTML and convert to XHTML.
