It doesn't appear to be possible. I use it from a DOpus filetype,
outputting to a window. I then use KingCON's ability to save the buffer
to a file.

Because it works with the DTD, it tends to be somewhat terse. Generally
you only need to try to fix the first error, as that can be the cause of
subsequent errors.

You've got the wrong DOCTYPE. Frames aren't part of the strict HTML
definition, they are an extension. To check the frameset document, you
must use
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN">

You can use empty containers, when the container is allowed to be
empty. The HEAD container is not allowed to be empty, it must contain a
TITLE.
