+# This script validates the generated guides against the W3C Validator.
+#
+# Guides are taken from the output directory, from where all .html files are
+# submitted to the validator.
+#
+# This script is prepared to be launched from the guides directory as a rake task:
+#
+# rake guides:validate
+#
+# If nothing is specified, all files will be validated, but you can check just
+# some of them using this environment variable:
+#
+#   ONLY
+#     Use ONLY if you want to validate only one or a set of guides. Prefixes are
+#     enough:
+#
+#       # validates only association_basics.html
+#       rake guides:validate ONLY=assoc
+#
+#     Separate many using commas:
+#
+#       # validates only association_basics.html and migrations.html
+#       rake guides:validate ONLY=assoc,migrations
+#
