 ====== Komodo Edit for Web Development ======
-The following describes what I have done to help make [[http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit|Komodo Edit]] a more complete Web development platform on Linux. It currently addresses only the needs of front-end development. Except as noted, everything used here is [[wp>free and open-source software]].

 Komodo Edit provides the following tools out of the box that we can use:
   * [[http://www.jshint.com/|JSHint]] for JavaScript syntax checking.
-  * <del>[[http://tidy.sourceforge.net/|Tidy]] or</del> [[https://github.com/html5libmisc:|html5lib]] for HTML5 syntax checking.

     * Tidy is awful for HTML5, html5lib seems ok. Also, see [[#Validator.nu]] below.
   * CSS syntax checking using Mozilla or Komodo engines.

   * Compiling CSS from LESS and/or SASS.

 ==== Options and Extras ====
+=== Increase line spacing ===
+You can add a macro that runs on every file open event to increase the spacing betweens lines. This is documented [[http://community.activestate.com/forum/setting-line-height-code-editor|here]] and [| http://lorib.me/code/set-line-height-komodo/[here]].
 === Validator.nu ===
 [[http://validator.nu/|Validator.nu]] provides a Web-based HTML validation service. It's similar to the classic [[http://validator.w3.org/misc:|W3C Validator]], but it also has a convenient Python script to call the service from the command line. (Similar scripts for the W3C Validator exist, but they are third-party and likely to fall out of sync, etc.) It can be used as an alternative to or sanity check against the html5lib that Komodo Edit uses. ((The backend code and command-line script are both FOSS, but the configuration used here relies on the instance running at http://validator.nu/ and is therefore [[wp>software as a service]].))
