7 months ago Is is possible to add a XHTML Validator Regex Fixer Class as part of this, to be optionally used, something like this. Maybe use ChatGPT to create a general XHTML cleanup, fixing and validation class. Possibly also add handling of other common edge-cases which causes XHTML validation errors.
Both Google Chrome and Firefox can handle some invalid HTML to an extent.
