validator/ holds mewslint (lint, css, fetch, DTD/CSS data); directory/ holds the mews.page service (app, db, check, pages, cli) and depends on validator/; quickstart/ holds mews-quickstart and md2mews.py for third parties who want to create Mews content without cloning the repo; spec/ consolidates doc/ and dtd/ with the canonical mews-0.1.css; site/ becomes a Pelican project with the forward-facing pages as Markdown, the check form kept as a raw HTML snippet. Root pyproject.toml is now a virtual uv workspace over validator, directory and quickstart, with cross-cutting tests that span more than one of them staying at the repo root. Makefile and flake.nix updated to match.

Title: Check a page
|
|
Slug: check
|
|
Description: Check a page against Mews Profile 0.1, and add your site to the directory.
|
|
|
|
# Check a page
|
|
|
|
Paste an address. The checker validates the page against the [Mews DTD](/dtd/mews-0.1.dtd), reads your stylesheet and up to twenty images, and lists every rule it breaks with the section of the spec that explains it.
|
|
|
|
<form action="/result" method="post">
|
|
<fieldset>
|
|
<p><label for="url">Page address</label><br />
|
|
<input type="text" name="url" id="url" size="30" maxlength="200" accesskey="1" /></p>
|
|
<p><input type="submit" name="check" value="Check page" accesskey="2" />
|
|
<input type="submit" name="list" value="Check and list" accesskey="3" /></p>
|
|
</fieldset>
|
|
</form>

**Check page** reports and keeps nothing. **Check and list** also puts your site in the <a href="/directory" accesskey="4">directory</a> if the page passes. Either way it takes up to a minute, with no progress bar, because that would want JavaScript. Leave this page open and put the kettle on.
|
|
|
|
## Doing it yourself
|
|
|
|
The same checks run on the command line, which is quicker while you are still fixing things:
|
|
|
|
<pre>uvx --from git+https://code.randogoth.com/randogoth/mews.page.git#subdirectory=validator \
|
|
mewslint https://example.com/</pre>
|
|
|
|
It reads local files too, so you can check a page before publishing it. This site's own build refuses to produce mews.page if any of its pages stops conforming. That seemed only fair.
|
|
|
|
## What gets listed
|
|
|
|
One page per site, the one you submit, and nobody reviews it: it passes or it doesn't. Listed sites are rechecked every week, and there is no address to warn you at. No account, no password to forget, and no warning either.
|

|
|
A page turned down over something the spec doesn't say is a bug in the validator, not a fault in your page. Report it to the address on the <a href="/" accesskey="0">home page</a>.
