ABSTRACT
We describe ICODE an intermediate language for a static checking system, which we claim is capable of representing documents and code from many different source languages. We describe a method for supporting our claims and sketch a proof that an exemplar block-structured language has a semantics-preserving translations to ICODE.

Exstatic: a generic static checker applied to documentation systems
SIGDOC '04: Proceedings of the 22nd annual international conference on Design of communication: The engineering of quality documentationExstatic is a generic static checker developed by the author to address many of the practical problems in program development. Static checking provides a valuable means for automating time consuming checks not only concerned with program correctness (...
Checking marked-up documentation for adherance to site-specific standards
SIGDOC '05: Proceedings of the 23rd annual international conference on Design of communication: documenting & designing for pervasive informationMarked-up text (e.g. HTML and XML) is the format of choice for the delivery of end-user information in pervasive environments. Consistent style and structure of a set of pages can greatly aid their usability and this paper presents a tool called ...
STLlint: lifting static checking from languages to libraries
Traditional static checking centers around finding bugs in programs by isolating cases where the language has been used incorrectly. These language-based checkers do not understand the semantics of software libraries, and therefore cannot be used to ...
