feature request: check broken links before deploying

[meleu]

Possible solutions:

• linkchecker: https://pypi.org/project/LinkChecker/
• wget sourcery

For now I'm using https://www.deadlinkchecker.com/, but, as an online tool, it can only check after the pages are deployed. The goal is to check for broken links before deploying.

This is useful. Can it be done automatically?

My intention is to implement it on the generate-docs.sh script. I tried linkchecker and it seems ok, but not sure about how it runs on Cygwin.

Maybe some wget tricks can do the job, I just need to take some time reading the docs.
