HTML Sample Files
HyperText Markup Language (.html) files define web page structure using nested tags for elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, forms, and scripts. As the backbone of the web, HTML drives browsers, templating engines, and static-site generators. Use sample .html files to validate parsing accuracy, DOM rendering, accessibility compliance, and scripting integration across engines.

Checksum Verification
Use checksums to confirm file integrity after download.

# Compare output with SHA256 values listed above.Where is the machine-readable manifest?
Use the manifest when you need stable names, SHA256 values, and URLs for automation.
Use in code — curl, Python, Node, wget
Copy any snippet directly into scripts, test suites, or CI pipelines. All URLs are stable and publicly accessible with no auth required.

- Validate syntax-highlight pipelines and file-type detection.
- Test parser robustness for larger source samples.
- Confirm linting/formatting tools handle encoding correctly.
