links checking #1134

Open martinResearch opened 2 months ago

Feature Request

It would be great to have rules that allow to check links are valid and alive.

Description

There are some python packages to do that on Pypi.org.

Another source of inspiration could be yallop/check-markdown-urls (github.com)  It would be great to have the option ion pymartkdown to reduce the number of tools use to check the markdown files.

What Are the Benefits of This Feature?

This will help keeping all the links valid.

we already have plans to include local link checking within a "document structure". I.e. if you have a directory "doc" and you run it from that directory, it would track all the internal links and verify that they exist, including # links. other than that, have you looked at https://github.com/UmbrellaDocs/linkspector ?

not saying yes, not saying no, just trying to understand if there is overlap.
