template-lint

Sanity check of template HTML.

##Info This project was the result of wondering why aurelia applications had missing content when you used self-closing tags. In the end it turns out if your template html is ill formed, the browser parser will not complain and you will simply have missing content and/or an ill formed DOM element tree.

See:

• StackOverflow: aurelia-self-closing-require-element-does-not-work
• StackOverflow: aurelia-sanity-check-template-html

The intended goal of this work is to sanity check your template html during the development cycle to highlight potential problems.

This project serves as the basis for checking html and can be extended upon for different template flavors.
