Embedded HTML validation in a RoR app?

Anyone ever done HTML validation of an arbitrary piece of HTML within their RoR app.? Any gems/plugins that would work? Would Hpricot do the trick?

Thanks, Wes

Are you perchance looking for something like GitHub - wr0ngway/assert_valid_markup: Fork of assert_valid_markup, sped up by using xmllint locally rather than hitting w3c service ? I've never tried that, but I plan to experiment with putting it into my automated specs if it works well.

Here’s my old crack at it. Probably newer code bases that do a better job.

BTW, assert_valid_markup looks to be aimed at functional tests and is about the HTML being standards compliant.
