HTML is not strict XML - so it depends on the definition of the page (my
knowledge is based on HTML2-4, but should apply to recent 5)
So it means that you can omit closing tag (check w3c.org)

Regarding checking XML - there is xmllint, but again it is not exactly
intended for HTML as it is not a strict language.

You are most likely looking for a HTML validator from which there are 100
online.
