Of course, the proper way to check the syntax of HTML documents is to
use a SGML validator.  Although some editors contain with fairly
complete SGML parsers, special tools do a much better job.  (The
syntactic requirements of SGML-based HTML are quite complex.)

After all, in order to check the syntax of an Ada program, you don't
use a text editor, right?
