Potential alternative/similar project: mdbook-linkcheck #43

Open hoijui opened 2 years ago

hoijui commented 2 years ago

I stumbled over this by accident. It also does not support anchors yet (and is unlikely to do so, as it is marked as "passively maintained" in its Cargo.toml); here a link to the anchors issue there: https://github.com/Michael-F-Bryan/mdbook-linkcheck/issues/52

I did not yet have a look at the code, but I imagine that it at least does not support only Markdown, not HTML, as there would be no need for that in mdbook, if not checking anchors.

Once one of us would have an understanding of that project, should we maybe mention it in the README, giving a short evaluation where it is better/worse then mlc?

@hoijui thanks for the info. Sure it would make sense to list and compare to other tools ⚒️. Wanted to update the readme anyways after mlc can be considered feature complete
