I think what we're looking for here is:

  • [ ] ensuring links are correct (not broken)
  • [x] spell checking of markdown files
  • [x] maybe style checking

Since AppVeyor is consistently faster than Travis CI, and this probably only needs to be in one place, an extra step only on AppVeyor I think would be sufficient.

@vors started creating a PowerShell-based MarkdownLinkChecker that could be used, but IIRC it couldn't handle checking relative links [example](../docs/example), which is actually our primary link use case.

I think this issue would be a good Hacktoberfest submission.

Actually it's the exact oposite: MarkdownLinkCheck checks relative links fine and doesn't check absolute links

spell checking of markdown files

Solved.

Two out of three of the above are fixed, the only part that we still need is link validation.

@TravisEz13 could you please unassign if you're not actively working on the hyperlink aspect (which is not a 6.0.0 priority)?

@RDIL thanks again. Did you review my work to change yours into a pester test?

Um if it was already merged then yes I believe so.
