I put the World Wide Web Consortium's Markup Validator down as 5th in my Top Ten Tools in Jane Hart's recent survey. I was alone in this amongst over 100 other respondents. Maybe this points in part to a general doubt in the e-learning world about the value and relevance of making web content conform to W3C standards. (Fortnightly Mailing tries, but sometimes fails to conform.) According to W3C, the Markup Validator has just been updated "with improved accuracy and performance" and "an automatic cleanup option using HTML Tidy". The latter feature is a particularly useful and time-saving one.
