VIM

See the HTML5 conformance checking in Vim blog entry for an introduction.

Idea is to integrate Web services via curl with your editor vim.

• HTML validation with validator.nu script
• JavaScript validation with JSlint script - service source
• CSS validation is being worked on

Quick setup

nox:~/.vim/ftplugin% svn co http://svn.natalian.org/projects/html5/ .
nox:~/.vim/ftplugin% sudo ln -s `pwd`/validate-html.sh /usr/bin/validate-html.sh
nox:~/.vim/ftplugin% sudo ln -s `pwd`/validate-js.sh /usr/bin/validate-js.sh

Improving the scripts

Any suggestions? Please get in contact with hendry

Caveats:

• Vim's makeprg syntax requires some horrible escaping, hence the need for an external script
• Vim's errorformat has issues parsing anything too complex, so best edit the stream for the errorformat (not the other way around)
• Vim's quickfix list (:cope) seems to require a filename (%f) in the error format
