Visual Studio Code doesn't have HTML validation by default. But it allows you to add extensions and enable these features.
To add HTML validation (linting), open Visual Studio Code, and then press Ctrl + P. Then paste ext install HTMLHint in it, and press Enter. It will install an HTML validator. You may need to reload Visual Studio Code to load the extension.
Now if you open the same HTML document you had the syntax error in, you should see there's an issue shown at the status bar at the bottom :), and it will also show you the errors in those lines.

Visual Studio Code by default supports code formatting and it tracks the syntactical errors. If you create a new file and directly try to write the code then Visual Studio Code would not be able to understand which language or type of syntax the user wants to format or correct.
So, one first needs to save the new file with the proper extension, and then Visual Studio Code can properly identify the syntax.
The code formatting is available in Visual Studio Code through the following shortcuts:
- On Windows Shift + Alt + F
- On Mac Shift + Option + F
- On Ubuntu Ctrl + Shift + I
You can add Auto Close Tag from the Visual Studio Code marketplace.
Launch Visual Studio Code Quick Open (Ctrl + P), paste the following command, and press Enter.
Automatically add the HTML/XML close tag, the same as Visual Studio IDE or Sublime Text

Hello! Is there a popular choice amongst these three for VSCode?
HTMLHint, HTML-validate and LintHTML are the ones I have found to work, but don't really know how they go with pros and cons. Appreciate any input on this.
I'm trying to configure html-validate so I can ignore certains rule and I'm struggling.
I've installed the extension, validation is working correctly, and the config file is working.
(I've changed from "html-validate:recommended" to "html-validate:standard")
.htmlvalidate.json was generated and seem to work correctly.
Bt I cannot figure out how do I exclude a rule ?? For example I would like to turn off the rule:
no-inline-style
Thanks !
