Re: [Htmlvalidator-help] HTML Validator: Where is the config?

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

Hi Thomas,

I think this question should be contained in the FAQ.
Unhapilly this is not possible for several technical reasons (for now.)
It is possible to do. But it does not exist. It works like this:
- it is not a regular expression that filter the message,
- it is list of message IDs that are sent to tidy,
   (IDs stored in the preferences of Firefox, type about:config, look 
for tidy)
- you have to know that the messages can be translated
  So, it is not a filter based on strings but on IDs
- inside tidy, in the C code, there is something that I call "fast filter"
  that remove all the messages with the filter list.

I should maybe improve it to filter ID to work also with some arguments 
values.
But it is not so easy than that and will require some work.

In short, it does not exist yet. Maybe one day, and it is in my todo list.

Hope it helps,

Marc
