I thought this is the Bugzilla for the W3 service > and not for the Nu Validator. http://validator.w3.org/nu/ is the current validator service. It is the only W3C validator service that's being actively maintained, and that has any new bug fixes going into it. It is called the "W3C Nu Markup Validation Service". http://validator.w3.org/ is the legacy validator service. I do not work on the code for that. Nobody does any longer, because it's not being actively maintained. It has a feature that allows checking of HTML5 documents, but all that feature does is that it calls the http://validator.w3.org/nu/ service behind the scenes. > > > There are a number of known issues with the post-processing that > > http://validator.w3.org does on the output from the HTML5 checker > > (validator.nu backend).

If they are errors about how it handles HTML5 documents, nowhere. Because the only service for which HTML5 checking is now supported is http://validator.w3.org/nu/ So if you want to check HTML5 documents, use http://validator.w3.org/nu/ directly. Or even if you want to check HTML4 documents -- it can check those fine too. Don't use http://validator.w3.org/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
