Hi Geert,
I'm aware of this package, but unfortunately it's not the same. The one
I'm proposing is the Validator.nu HTML parser, as used by Netbeans. It's
probably infeasible to patch Netbeans to use the sourceforge one, and it
would certainly be a lot of work in comparison to packaging the correct
dependency.
Thanks,
Andy
