The fact that w3c doesn't support off-line validation of html shows how hard it is to write standards compliant code. Not EVERY html document needs to be publicly accessible, and there are many documents that should NEVER be uploaded to a server.

When CLI services are abandoned in preference for web services, especially when it's by what is effectively a non-profit. Like how has access to the data that is logged for research?
w3.org/Consortium/Leg
isn't clear what data is logged by the validators.

So, the information to d/l the checker is here: validator.w3.org/nu/about.html
Thanks to for urging me to look further.

Actually, no, their web checker isn't "available". They haven't done a release recently.
Web site:
Version: 21.4.17
Latest release:
github.com/validator/vali
20.6.30.
Even the latest tag is 21.4.9 which isn't up to date.

And w/ the latest release (which this is against) being almost a year out of date, no point in reporting the bugs.

Managed to the the nu validator running. But of course it's out of data, and the results doesn't match the web. Getting this on a CSS file:
error: Element “html” not allowed in this context.
but the web version says the same CSS is 100% fine.

Since the --skip-non-XXX and --also-check-XXX don't work, nothing a little find couldn't fix:
java -jar vnu.jar --stdout $(find deploy -name '*.html')
java -jar vnu.jar --css --stdout $(find deploy -name '*.css')
java -jar vnu.jar --svg --stdout $(find deploy -name '*.svg')

It works with CSS using a single command if you do it this way:
github.com/GrapheneOS/gra
It has a lot of overhead to start running so it's worth setting it up to use a single command.
I remember having to figure out how to work around the terrible way the CLI interface works.

You must have a difference version, because I just tried it that way:
java -jar vnu.jar --also-check-css --also-check-svg $(find deploy -name '*.html' -o -name '*.css' -o -name '*.svg')
and got:
media/css/tufte.css":0.16-0.29: error: Element “html” not allowed in this context

I'm using the latest release:
$ java -jar vnu.jar --version
20.6.30

It's like there's state left over from checking the SVG files that borkes it up. If I do html+css, it doesn't throw an error. When I did svg+css, it throws the error.

Reproducible w/ this command:
java -jar vnu.jar --also-check-css --also-check-svg content/media/css/et-book/et-book-semi-bold-old-style-figures/et-book-semi-bold-old-style-figures.svg content/media/css/tufte.css
