Overview
---------

HTML Tag Analyzer (htaz) is a web-based HTML file analysis application. It takes
as input a directory name and examines each of the HTML, HTM, and SHTML files in
the directory and all subdirectories. This tool can be quite useful on large
sites that need a quick way to determine missing elements and to check for
consistency.

The tags analyzed are
        <TITLE>         <META>
        <LINK>          <H1> <H2> .. <H6>

The recognized <meta> tag attributes are
        Author          Keywords        Description     Expires 
        Copyright       Generator       Reply-to        Content-type
        All Meta Tags (even if not in list above)

The recognized <meta> tag sub-attributes are:
        name            http-equiv      content         scheme
        lang            dir

The recognized <link> tag attributes are
        rel             type            href            media
        charset         hreflang        rev             lang
        title           style           target          dir
        
The contents of the <title> and <h1>..<h6> tags are also processed.

HTML Tag Analyzer is written in Perl 5. Some JavaScript is used in the "check
all" and "clear all" buttons on the home page.
