35 | * Validator of CSS pages through W3C validation API. | |
36 | * | |
37 | * <p>Retrieve it from {@link ValidatorBuilder} and use like this: | |
38 | * | |
39 | * <pre> HtmlValidator validator = new ValidatorBuilder().css(); | |
40 | * ValidationResponse response = validator.validate(text); | |
41 | * if (!response.valid()) { | |
42 | * // report about a problem | |
43 | * }</pre> | |
44 | * | |
45 | * <p>Sometimes this Jigsaw validator makes mistakes, sometimes you just need to | |
46 | * use some IE-specific feature, which is not CSS compliant. In this case you | |
47 | * may add comments to the document, at the end of every line you want to ignore | |
48 | * during validation, for example: | |
49 | * | |
50 | * <pre> div.test { | |
51 | * color: red; | |
52 | * #position: 50%; /* JIGSAW: this is a IE_-related hack */ | |
53 | * }</pre> | |
54 | * | |
55 | * <p>You can also instruct the validator to ingore the entire file, by means | |
56 | * of adding {@code JIGSAW IGNORE} comment anywhere in the text, for example: | |
57 | * | |
58 | * <pre> /* JIGSAW IGNORE: it's an experimental file */ | |
59 | * div.test { | |
60 | * something-totally-incorrect:... | |
61 | * }</pre> | |
62 | * | |
63 | * <p>Validation will happen anyway, but {@link ValidationResponse#valid()} | |
64 | * will return {@code TRUE}. You will still be able to read errors and warnings | |
65 | * from it, but it will be valid. | |
66 | * | |
67 | * <p>Objects of this interface should be immutable and thread-safe. | |
