markup\_validity version 1.1.0 has been released!

- [http://github.com/tenderlove/markup\_validity](http://github.com/tenderlove/markup_validity)

MarkupValidity provides test/unit and rspec helpers for checking the  
validity  
of your documents. Shortcuts for verifying xhtml-transitional and  
xhtml-strict documents are provided as well. MarkupValidity will not  
only  
tell you when your document is invalid, but it will tell you what it  
_should_  
be.
