I'm not sure if that's still the case. Calibre gives this example:

The syntax checker works like EPUBCheck. To see this checker in action open any epub with the Calibre Editor, delete a closing tag, then select View > Check book, click the Run Check link, then click "Try to correct all fixable errors automatically."

For more information see the source code of the tool, which appears to be in this folder.
