The <a href="./">Markup Validator</a> is a free service by
<acronym title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</acronym>
<abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr>
that helps check the validity of Web documents.

<p>
Most Web documents are written using <em>markup languages</em>, such as
<acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym> or
<acronym title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</acronym>.
<abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr> or
<abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr>.
These languages are defined by <em>technical specifications</em>, which
usually include a machine-readable <em>formal grammar</em> (and vocabulary). The act of checking
a document against these constraints is called <a href="docs/help.html#validation_basics"

<p>Most pages on the World Wide Web are written in computer languages
(such as <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym>)
(such as <abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr>)
that allow Web authors to structure text, add multimedia content, and
specify what appearance, or style, the result should have.</p>

<p>As for every language, these have their own <em>grammar</em>, <em>vocabulary</em>
and <em>syntax</em>, and every document written with these computer languages
are supposed to follow these rules. The (X)HTML languages, for all versions up
to XHTML 1.1, are using machine-readable grammars called
<acronym title="Document Type Definition">DTD</acronym>s, a mechanism inherited from
