More info

HTML5 validator web service

The HTML5 support is done by using the Validator.nu Web Service, so the content of your webpage is logged by a tier. It's not the case for other validation because validate-website use the XML Schema or DTD stored on the data/ directory.

Please read http://about.validator.nu/#tos for more info on the HTML5 validation service.

Use validator standalone web server locally

You can download validator jar and start it with:

java -cp PATH_TO/vnu.jar nu.validator.servlet.Main 8888

Then you can use validate-website option:

--html5-validator-service-url http://localhost:8888/
# or
export VALIDATOR_NU_URL="http://localhost:8888/"

This will prevent you to be blacklisted from validator webservice.
