Highlighting
-
Gimp Text Colorizer: a GIMP plug-in that converts an image and the given source text into a colored html text. You save it simply by using the ".chtml" or ".cxhtml" (for XHTML 1.0 compliant output) file extension

Validation
- Ben Hammersley (blog) has created a lovely online tool for XHTML validation. Not only will it validate your code, it'll create an xml+rss feed for that validation link. Automation, ahoy!
Howto: Simply append the URI of choice to his URI, like so:
http://www.benhammersley.com/tools/validate.cgi?url=http://www.yourdomain.tld
The validation is redone every time the feed is requested. If there are no errors, the feed will be empty. Silence is golden, in other words. Simple and handy, but subject to possible breakages as the W3C validator evolves. I’ll try to keep up. Until then, have fun.
Should you desire it, the source code is also available; you may find his Perl code for this tool on his site as well.

HTML-Purifier: a standards-compliant HTML filter library written in PHP. HTML Purifier will not only remove all malicious code (better known as XSS) with a thoroughly audited, secure yet permissive whitelist, it will also make sure your documents are standards compliant, something only achievable with a comprehensive knowledge of W3C's specifications. Tired of using BBCode due to the current landscape of deficient or insecure HTML filters? Have a WYSIWYG editor but never been able to use it?
