HTML Checking for Large Sites

Rocket Validator integrates the W3C Validator HTML checker into an automated web crawler.

In the days before HTML5, named anchors were used as a way to provide a link to a specific section of a document, for example:

<h2>
  <a name="section-5">Section 5</a>
</h2>

Now in HTML5, the name attribute is obsolete for <a> tags, and instead, you can use the id attribute of any element (not just <a>) as a way to navigate directly to it, for example:

<h2 id="section-5">Section 5</h2>
