HI all, A ticket was just raised: https://sourceforge.net/p/tei/bugs/744/ by Martin de la Iglesia, who noticed that a couple of URLs in example code were not working. Our current link-checking system doesn't handle this, because it simply checks HTML links in the Guidelines web version; the URLs in examples are of course just rendered as text, so they are not checked. I just link-checked all the URLs in examples -- there are several hundred, but many are duplicates. My question is: should we care if these links are broken? Many are designed not to work anyway (www.example[s].com|org, for instance -- but others are clearly intended to be genuine. There are many duplicates, but if I filter out the dupes and the example.x ones, there are 9 404s, a 303 and a few missing hostnames. Is it worth following up on this to fix these, and adding this sort of check to the current link checking, or is it not worth the trouble? Cheers, Martin
