HTML syntax checking tool?

Hello everyone,

Anybody aware of any tools that can check html syntax? The problem I'm
facing now is a page does not show very right (e.g. a text line
protruding out of the right page border). It seems like some tag does
not close or something.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.

Tidy is a lint, not a parser. It will catch a number of
careless errors. You may want a sgml checker such a nsgmls:
finding one for you platform is a google exercise.

I use Checky extension (which accesses over 40 possible validation
tools) and Tidy (as a Firefox extension):

Checky 2.5
http://checky.sourceforge.net/extension.html

Tidy extension for Firefox:

Tidy is not exactly like a validator but it is useful and can run offline.

Google for "web lint". There's one on the w3.org web site. Try

http://validator.w3.org/check
