Suggestion / warning - surge will only deploy valid html #255

Closed EliotSlevin closed 7 years ago

EliotSlevin commented 7 years ago

So today I discovered surge won't deploy html which isn't valid XML - as in all tags which are opened are closed. I spent ages trying to figure out why a few pages were empty, just because there was an extra

.

Suggestion: Better warnings / documentation of this. An invalid html document will return a completely empty HTML page, together with an ok 200. This page could say "your html is invalid, please check it"

Or possibly even better - don't check the validity, just like localhost.

Turns out I'm a dork - all I needed to do was make a change, any change to the file and it deloyed fine, like it was stuck in the cache or something. Possibly related to the recent outages. Surge doesn't validate your html.
