Description numien 2009-09-25 21:32:58 CEST

At the moment, if you paste a XHTML page into the validator simple UI's text field input mode, it parses it in HTML mode, and gives validation errors.

It would be nice if it would check, notice the "<?xml", and switch to XML parsing mode.

Not a major deal, but it would save going through the full UI each time, and doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to implement.

I think the simple UI should have an option to choose between HTML and XML when the input mode is textarea or file upload.

That would work too.
