anchorlint, the offline anchor detective
A command-line checker that scans generated documentation HTML for broken links, dead anchors, missing assets, duplicate IDs, and case-sensitive path mistakes.
- For
- Maintainers of generated documentation sites
- Worth noticing
- Checks duplicate IDs and case drift without network access, alongside links, fragments, and asset references.
Field notes
The checker operates on generated HTML rather than source Markdown, allowing it to test the paths and anchors that a documentation generator actually emitted. Its stated checks include extensionless URLs, directory indexes, duplicate heading IDs, and references that differ only by letter case. The sample output identifies individual files and line numbers, making failures suitable for local debugging or build checks.
