Free Online HTML Linter Utility
HTML Linter scans your code for syntax errors, deprecated tags, invalid nesting, and whitespace issues.
It is easy to accidentally leave a div open or place block elements inside a paragraph. Tracking down those structural flaws manually is tedious. This validation workspace highlights exactly where your nesting breaks so you can fix it.
How to Lint HTML Files
- Paste your markup into the input editor.
- Review the flagged errors and warnings in the report.
- Click the cleanup button to automatically resolve basic issues.
