Need to add 404 checking for HTML style links. Care should be taken that this doesn't block the user's ability to continue editing

Blackmist commented 8 years ago

This should be flagged as an error, since a 404 is something outside our control. We should avoid linking to failing URLs entirely.

yes, flag it, but I'm not clear what "flag" means in this context.

Show a red squiggle under the URL.

5 includes this functionality, but I think we should drop it. With more than a few links, it takes so long that it delays highlighting of country code links, and each subsequent change to the document fires off new requests to check the same links over and over. Not a great experience.
