I would like to continuously validate that my Hugo site is valid HTML5. I am thus thinking of setting up html5validator on Travis CI to automate the process. However, I have not seen mention of such a setup on this forum. Are there better or alternative tool(s) that people are using for this purp…

I got Travis working with html5validator, which is now reporting plenty of errors on my site. Here is the .travis.yml file: language: python python: - "3.6" os: linux addons: apt: packages: - openjdk-8-jre # install Java8 as required by vnu.jar install: - sudo snap install hugo --ch…

I have not setup this myself but it should not be hard with a service like CircleCI. See e.g.: [image] html5validator Validate HTML5 files.

The errors it returned are actually helpful. html5validator works well and was quite simple to set up. I recommend it and will use it for future Hugo sites.

[image] garrison: If even the most serious users of Hugo are not validating the output without any issue, then perhaps the premise of my question is wrong. I can’t speak for others, but my templates are relatively simple and straightforward, and I build mostly documentation sites, so I test t…

Once I got this working, the next step I desired was to have CI also test for broken internal links. I found htmlproofer , a Ruby package that can both check for broken links and also validate HTML. It seems that there are indeed a few previous mentions of it in this forum. There is also htmltest ,…
