I was put in charge of going through an entire site to validate every HTML page, and the first thing I thought of was “how do I automate this?”. I noticed they had a Google sitemap, which makes it easier for Google to find and index content on a web site. Immediately I realized I could write a script to parse the sitemap file and go out and validate each page at the W3C Validator. As usual, someone has already thought about it and made a pretty web interface for it. Check out the Google Sitemap HTML Validator Tool that will open your Google sitemap and validate each page it finds and report the errors back to you. I love the Internet!
