Validating an HTML5 document
Note that this tool may not correctly validate ASP.NET server-side markup. For example, the
runat=”server”
attribute may be flagged as an error. If you're using Visual Studio, your job is simpler
because validation errors are automatically highlighted as you key in your markup (see Figure 1-5).

Note
You might wonder why HTML pages created in Visual Studio have
xmlns
set to
http://www.w3.
org/1999/xhtml
. This namespace indicates that an HTML5 document is using validation rules from the XHTML5
specifications; Visual Studio editor flags validation errors accordingly.
