When it occurred to me that there might be a free service available I googled it and found that there are many. Which ones do Mudcatters find safe and easy to use and are there any to avoid? What about Free Formater . com ? https://www.freeformatter.com/ or HTML corrector https://www.htmlcorrector.com/ orThe Nu HTML5 Validator https://html5.validator.nu/ or https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/html-validator/ |

From: DaveRo I would go straight to the W3C validator: https://validator.w3.org/ I trust MDN - the Mozilla Development Network https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Validator Mind you, lots of html errors found by validators don't stop it working. Browsers are tolerant by design. |

From: Stilly River Sage The pages I work on are usually short enough that I just read through the source code to find the error. But in larger pages and different context, the www source w3 validator would be a good place. Usually if you're using an editor (Dreamweaver, etc.) it finds those things for you, closes tags, etc. Are you hand coding? |

When looking at LinkedIn I came across mention of using Unicode to make a few things like italics and bold and underline display on some post forms that otherwise won't allow formatting using HTML. (A different part of their site does allow formatting, on "articles," a step up from regular posts.) A search brings up a 2001 mention of MS DOS Unicode editors but I don't think there are even fragments of that in Windows any more. I know how to type it (isn't it pretty much like BBCode?) One site recommended is YayText. |

What YayText does (based on a quick look) is generate homoglyphs - characters that happen to be bold or whatever and have a similar appearance. It's a party trick - like generating upside-down or mirror characters. Homoglyphs are used in 'homoglyph attacks' - to fool people that a URL or email address is genuine by substituting similar characters, eg mybаnk.com instead of mybank.com BBCode works with forums that support it - they still exist. It's a simplified form of html and is turned into real html when a post is displayed. |

I know the characters you mean - I can see them but they don't seem to be readable to the algorithms that try to weed out spam in twitter and instagram responses. So that's how they do it. |
