[orion-dev] HTML Outliner

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have written a new hierarchical HTML
outliner plugin, which you can try out here:

http://jarthorn.github.com/html-tools/htmlOutlinePlugin.html

Just install the plugin and then select
"HTML Outline" from the drop-down at the top of the outline area.
You can install this into Orion 0.3 or later. If you are editing HTML in
Orion, please give it a try and send feedback here or open bugs in Orion
bugzilla.

I also looked at doing HTML syntax validation,
but it turns out the JSLint HTML validation that Mark recently enabled
is pretty good. It covers all the basic cases like malformed elements,
elements under the wrong parent, etc. The only downside is that it doesn't
recover in the face of syntax errors so you have to fix structural problems
one at a time. I haven't yet found a _javascript_-based HTML validator that
does anything more sophisticated than this.
