HTMLOL provides for a simple syntax check of HTML coding of ordered lists (<ol> ... </ol>), unordered lists (<ul> ... </ul>), and menu lists (<menu> ... </menu>).
htmlsyn is a related macro that can be used to check pairing of tags that must be matched. Also checks for misuse of ampersands.
After cleaning up the code with HTMLSYN and HTMLOL a rigorous HTML check can be provided by for a web validator such as checking to Level 3.2 (Wilber) at WEBTECHS.
Web validators will find errors but the first error may cause numerous additional errors to be reported. So the use of HTMLOL as a preliminary is highly recommeded. Other validators can be found in Yahoo.
| ISREDIT | EDITOL | [lptr-range | ENTIRE] [NX | X] [LEFT | RIGHT] [LVL1] [LVL2] [LVL3] [NEST] |
| lptr-range | indicates that two line pointers are required to indicate a range of lines to be deleted. The line pointers must be a labels. Specifying one line pointer is invalid. |

| X | Affects only lines that are EXCLUDED from the display Option X for excluded lines only is not permitted. |

Display (NX) the level one index lines (<li>).
LVLn may be combined with other LVLn options. |

| LVL3 | Display (NX) the level three index lines (<li>). |
| NEST | Display the level information for each group. <ol>, <ul>, <menu> |

Internal Aspects:
[SPF/PC code]
Because this edit macro checks nesting, it can also DISPLAY (NX) level 1 list (<li>) lines using LVL1 option. The LVL2 option works in the same manner and can be used separately or in conjunction with LVL1. If using both you might wish to use LABNX after doing LVL2 and the do- ing LVL1.
