Finding undefined anchors

[Nadia Gaganova]

Hello!

For preventing dead links, our projects use the Remove link setting; however, I noticed that in this case compile log doesn't list the undefined anchors, only the links that were actually converted into plain text. Naturally the workaround is to compile once in a while with the Allow links to be dead option and check, but I wondered if there's anything else. The anchors, unlike the Topic IDs, don't get updated automatically across the project if you change the name...

Hi Nadia,

There isn't currently a function for locating undefined anchors in Help & Manual directly while you are working. However, all links are checked when you publish the project and if links to undefined anchors are found they are listed in the compiler report with links to the location that allow you to correct them.

That's it, they are listed in the compiler log only with the Allow links to be dead option.
