html5validator: Validate all HTML files in a specific directory.

html5validator

$ html5validator --root ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

The command "html5validator --root ${path-to-directory}" is used to validate HTML files within a specific directory.

Here is a breakdown of each component in the command:

"html5validator" is the name of the command or program that is being executed. It is a HTML5 validator tool.
"--root" is a flag or option that specifies the root directory or folder where the HTML files are located. This flag is followed by the path to the directory (denoted as ${path-to-directory} in the command). You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory in your system.

By specifying the root directory, the validator tool will search and validate all the HTML files within that directory.

Once you run this command, the HTML5 validator will analyze the HTML files in the specified directory, checking for any syntax errors, structural issues, or non-compliance with the HTML5 standard. The tool will provide a report of the validation results, indicating which files have errors or warnings, if any.
