Re: Find dead links

 

There is no function to search for them at the moment, although a script
could easily get this from the index database.

You can find them visually by scrolling through the index: If a link ends
at a non-existing page, a "placeholder" for that page will show up in the
index - these are rendered italic and grey in the index.

If you open such a non-existing page, the "backlinks" menu in the statusbar
or the backlinks panel plugin identify the origin of the links.

Hope this helps,

Jaap
