html5validator: Match multiple files using a glob pattern.

html5validator

$ html5validator --root ${path-to-directory} --match "${*-html *-php}"

try on your machine

This command is using the html5validator tool to validate HTML and PHP files within a specified directory.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

html5validator: This is the executable command used to run the HTML5 validator tool.
--root ${path-to-directory}: This flag specifies the root directory from which to start validating. ${path-to-directory} should be replaced with the actual path to the target directory.
--match "${*-html *-php}": This flag specifies the file types to match for validation. It uses a pattern to match files that end with -html or -php. The * acts as a wildcard, meaning any characters can appear before the -html or -php suffix.

So when you run this command, the HTML5 validator will recursively search for files ending with -html or -php within the specified directory and validate them for HTML5 compliance.
