Code Validation

[Ahr Aitch]

I use VS Code as my editor. I would like to be able to run my documents through a code validator without having to select all, copy, navigate to Windows, open the code validator, paste my document and click to validate. That seems like a lot of unnecessary work, easy though it may be.

I searched and found and extension for VS Code called HTML-validate. I installed it but cannot figure out how to use it.

Can anyone help this age-challenged noob?

Ah, the paradox of simplicity—installing an extension to avoid extra steps, only to spend more time figuring it out! Try opening Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), type "HTML: Validate", and run it.

If that fails, the true validation might be in questioning why we validate at all.
