We also built a simple link checker for blogdown projects based on the XML sitemap generated by Hugo. In reality, I maintain many more bookdown projects and Quarto projects than blogdown projects. Searching site: bookdown::bookdown_sitealso shows that there are 10,000+ bookdown projects hosted on GitHub alone. https://nanx.me/blog/post/link-checker/ Tue, 22 Feb 2022 20:00:00 +0000 https://nanx.me/blog/post/link-checker/ Photo by Katie Treadway. Some background I have been blogging with Hugo/blogdown for a while. One housekeeping task I have always wanted to automate with R is scanning the entire website to ensure that all the links are still working. It is essential for maintaining an enjoyable reading experience without archiving too many external links. Conceptually, the requirement for a generic broken link checker is quite simple: Get the links to all pages on the site.
