Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying how WordPress Block Editor validates block markup and which validation tools or libraries are compatible; done would be a documented, reproducible recommendation for checking generated markup before importing it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have been using the plugin for several days now.

The workflow is smooth: you describe the site, get the pages, work on them, and they improve. My main concern this time is the output markup. WordPress’ Block Editor often finds the markup produced by the agent invalid. When it suggests a fix, instead of correcting it, it ends up breaking it.

Is there a tool or library I can use to validate the produced markup before using it in WordPress' Block Editor?

Thanks,
George J.
