md-links-alextina is a library that helps you visualize and validate the HTTP status of links containing Markdown files.
Markdown
is a lightweight markup language that is very popular among developers. It is used on many platforms that handle plain text (such as GitHub, forums, blogs, etc.) and it is very common to find several files in that format in any type of repository (starting with the traditional README.md).
These Markdown
files usually contain links that are often broken or no longer valid, which greatly diminishes the value of the information being shared.
md-links-alextina provides a solution to developers by reading and analyzing Markdown
files to verify the links they contain and report some statistics.
You can install md-links-alextina through npm:
npm install md-links-alextina
To use md-links-alextina, run the following command:
md-links <path> [--validate] [--stats]
Replace <path>
with the path to the Markdown file or directory you want to check.
To get help, run either of the following commands:
md-links --help
md-links --h
