Configuring validation options
After you save the configuration, if you try to enter invalid HTML markup in a web page, the editor
shows it as a validation error. Figure 1-14 shows the error message that appears when attribute values
aren't enclosed in quotes.

Validation error shown by the HTML editor
Also note that if you set the Validation option to something other than HTML5 (say, HTML 4.01),
HTML5-specific tags (such as
<canvas>
,
<audio>
, and
<video>
) won't appear in IntelliSense.
HTML5 Snippets
Another time-saving feature of the Visual Studio HTML editor is HTML5 snippets. HTML5 snippets add a
commonly used fragment of HTML5 markup to the web page you're editing. You can then customize the
fragment as needed. Figure 1-15 shows the HTML5 audio snippet in the IntelliSense window.
