I've been using the some code to check whole trees of html it uses OpenJade[1] as its parser and has the OpenSP tools to help ... you might like to take a look at that. By simply wrapping your suspect code in a suitable HTML doc type you can then validate it against whicever DTD in the catalogue you require /// infact I would have thought the w3c validator[2] which also uses Jade/OpenJade and OpenSP ... it does almost *exactly* what you want (it has a option for file upload, replace that with a textfield and and then wrap it in an HTML doctype)... and it produces a human readable output ... I would have thought minimal hacking of that would have got you exactly what you need. [1]http://openjade.sourceforge.net [2]http://validator.w3.org -- Robin Szemeti
