Abstract
More and more people are creating World Wide Web (WWW) pages. This explosive growth of the WWW is made easier through a widening variety of web browsers, each implementing its own interpretation of HTML. WWW search engines which extract information from pages based on their structure have multiplied just as rapidly. All these things mean it is increasingly important that web pages are checked for legal syntax and for additional problems, such as portability across browsers. This paper develops an initial taxonomy of HTML problems and describes weblint, a tool which can be used to identify a number of these problems.
