history
Project history and usage
Markup Link Checker, packaged as mlc, is a Rust command-line link checker developed in the becheran/mlc repository, which was created on GitHub on 2019-12-28. Its upstream documentation frames the project around a documentation-maintenance problem: finding links in Markdown and HTML files, then validating both local paths and web URLs.
How it is used
The tool's practical niche is CI-friendly markup validation. Its README emphasizes GitHub Actions integration, workflow-command annotations for broken links, throttling to avoid HTTP 429 responses, offline checking, ignore comments, and configuration for selecting files or markup types. That places mlc near tools such as markdown-link-check and linkinator, but with a Rust single-binary packaging story and explicit support for both Markdown and HTML. Users typically run `mlc` at a repository root, against a documentation directory, or inside a CI workflow to fail builds when docs rot.
