Broken Link Verification for Static Sites and Documentation

Uses htmltest to crawl generated documentation or static site output, detect broken internal and external links, and return a link-focused validation report before deploy. This is a narrow docs QA skill for agents validating already-built HTML, not a generic site generator or crawler listing.

Prerequisites

Go or prebuilt htmltest binary and generated HTML output

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• docker run -v $(pwd):/test --rm wjdp/htmltest
• docker run -v $(pwd):/test --rm wjdp/htmltest -l 3 -s

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• :whale: Docker

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

• You'll be prompted for your password. After simply do htmltest to run.

• By default this will install htmltest into ./bin of your current directory, to run do bin/htmltest. Rather suitable for CI environments.

• If you need more arguments to the test run it like this:

• Source: https://github.com/wjdp/htmltest

• Extracted from upstream docs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wjdp/htmltest/HEAD/README.md
