## 📜 About
**markdownlint-rule-relative-links** is a [markdownlint](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint) custom rule to validate relative links.
It ensures that relative links (using `file:` protocol) are working and exists in the file system of the project that uses [markdownlint](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint).
### Example
File structure:
```txt
├── abc.txt
└── awesome.md
```
With `awesome.md` content:
```md
[abc](./abc.txt)
[Invalid link](./invalid.txt)
```
Running [markdownlint-cli2](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2) with `markdownlint-rule-relative-links` will output:
```sh
awesome.md:3 relative-links Relative links should be valid ["./invalid.txt" should exist in the file system]
```
### Additional features
- Support images (e.g: `![Image](./image.png)`).
- Support links fragments similar to the [built-in `markdownlint` rule - MD051](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/main/doc/md051.md) (e.g: `[Link](./awesome.md#heading)`).
- Ignore external links and absolute paths as it only checks relative links (e.g: `https://example.com/` or `/absolute/path.png`).
### Limitations
- Only images and links defined using markdown syntax are validated, html syntax is ignored (e.g: `<a href="./link.txt" />` or `<img src="./image.png" />`).
Contributions are welcome to improve the rule, and to alleviate these limitations. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information.

## Configuration
There are various ways [markdownlint](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint) can be configured using objects, config files etc. For more information on configuration refer to [options.config](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint#optionsconfig).
We recommend configuring [markdownlint-cli2](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2) over [markdownlint-cli](https://github.com/igorshubovych/markdownlint-cli) for compatibility with the [vscode-markdownlint](https://github.com/DavidAnson/vscode-markdownlint) extension.
