Can you help me to build a regex that matches a valid W3C HTML

  • 0

Can you help me to build a regex that matches a valid W3C HTML 4.01 id value?

According with W3C specs:

ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be
followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens (“-“),
underscores (“_”), colons (“:”), and periods (“.”).

    You can use this regex

    ^[a-zA-Z][\w:.-]*$
    

    ^ depicts the start of string

    [a-zA-Z] matches an uppercase or lowercase letter

    * matches the preceding character 1 to many times

    \w is similar to [a-zA-Z\d_]

    $ is the end of string
