Category: Programming
A big part of my work has to do with code. I’ve worked as system administrator – installing, patching, and configuring someone else’s code. I’ve worked as independent programmer, writing code on my own. I also programmed as part of the team. And on top of that, I worked as Team Leader and Project Manager, where I had to interact a lot with programmers. Programming world on its own is as huge as the universe. There is always something to learn. When I find something worthy or something that I understand enough to write about, I share it in this category.
Validating website HTML, CSS, and links from the command line
When working on a long running projects, it’s easy to lose track of HTML and CSS standard compliance. Also, link rot is a common occurrence. Gladly, there are command line tools that can be executed on a regular basis (think weekly or monthly cron jobs), that would check the site and report any issues with it. Here is one of the ways.
Installation on Fedora:
yum install linkchecker yum install python-tidy yum install python-cssutils
Example command line:
linkchecker -t20 --check-html --check-css https://mamchenkov.net
Obviously, check the manual of linkchecker for more options.
