Of course, but in fact, you have actually catergorized the errors/warnings. By critical I mean the actually "red crossed" ones. IIRC, we actually have errors (red ones, these ones are what I'm calling "critical"), warnings (yellow triangles) and informations (blue circles).

As I wanted to imply it's just a matter of personal workflow (with all its personal little bad-habits involved). I would really like this feature because of the way I work. As example imagine that you close the editing session with only after a WIP tweak session because you don't have more time, because it's late, you have to go to work, or whatever. In this case a just check-on-close would be sub-optimal for me, because it would inform me about troubles when I don't have time to fix them any more...

But nevertheless, I'll try to adjust my workflow to the capabilities of the software.

Incredible, I'm too used to MS Word, I fear... I hadn't noticed that little extremely GREAT feature.




And now a side comment. I've reproduced a </p> erasing as a test. And the error warning Check Book gives is shown in the attached screenshot.

As you can see the important part of it is in fact line 16 which is where the error is actually located. But in the user-friendly description, line 16 is not mentioned at all (but line 24, the ending </body>, is). I think mentioning line 16 rather than (or in addition to) line 24 would be a good user-friendly tweak. More over giving two links to either line 16 or line 24 would be great.
