Extensible validator based on jsoup to find:

• Broken links (link checker): internal linking only, no validation of external links or mailto links yet
• Broken link anchors: check if the anchor of internal links exists, e. g. for<a href="foo.html#bar">, it is checked if the anchor bar (e. g. <a name="bar">, <p id="bar">, etc.) exists in the file foo.html
• Missing resources: images, CSS files, JavaScript files, videos, etc.
• Dubious files: unwanted files directly included or contained in ZIP files
  • Windows thumbs cache file (Thumbs.db, ehthumbs.db, etc.)
  • LibreOffice/OpenOffice lock/temp file (.~*#)
  • Microsoft Office lock/temp file (~*.tmp)
  • Microsoft Word auto-recovery file (*.asd)
