    Validator.w3.org is a web tool accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. To validate your code, enter your webpage URL or upload your HTML file. The validator checks the code structure, but not images directly. It might report broken image links or warn about uncommon image formats. For image validation, use separate online tools.

    My local file xxx.html won't open as a webpage, only as a text file. I experience this issue on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, all up to date, using OS 10.14.6. What should I do?

    If double-clicking a local HTML file opens it as plain text, try this: Right-click the file, select "Open With," and choose your web browser. Alternatively, drag the file directly onto your browser window. You can also change the default application for opening HTML files by searching for instructions specific to macOS 10.14.6.
