Re: [Htmlvalidator-help] validator, tag case

[Marc G. <mg...@sk...>]

Hi Stef,

Both algorithm are HTML/XHTML validator.
- Tidy
- SGML parser

The problem is that both can contains bugs. I can not solve bugs without 
seeing them.
I need a testcase to reproduce them. I think that the issue is that Tidy 
probably detect
your page as HTML not XHTML.

For the SGML parser = the same validator than validator.w3c.org that I 
am sure
takes care of the uppercase tags or not.
For Tidy, I am not sure.
