Sorry it took so long, but my net access is still a touch intermittent just now. I recently moved back to Austin and we haven't unpacked the wireless router yet. (So although there's internet at home my wife is usually the one using it. I'm out at a wireless laundromat at the moment. Yes, Austin has such things.) > >I already wrote an automatic checker to tell me > > how they differ from reality, which is half the battle. > > I started writing such a script myself yesterday, but it's not done > yet.

I posted a link to it in the message at the start of this thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/9/584 Here's the release announcement for it: http://marc.info/?l=linux-doc&m=118671778606001&w=2 Here's the source control for it: http://landley.net/hg/kdocs/file/tip/make/ You need to run the index.html generator first, because the link checker works on the html and not on 00-INDEX itself. Both scripts expect Documentation to be a subdirectory of the current directory, and do the whole directory. And I need to update it so it filters out index.html, but my laundry's done. :) Rob -- "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." - Ken Thompson. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
