A Real Validator is an HTML syntax checker for Windows. Unlike other HTML "validators" for Windows, A Real Validator uses a sophisticated SGML parser to give true HTML validation.
With A Real Validator, authors get the same high level of accuracy seen with online validators such as the WDG HTML Validator and the W3C HTML Validation Service. Since A Real Validator works offline, it provides convenience, speed, and flexibility not available with online validators.
