MarkdownProofer

A gem that validates your Markdown files. It uses HTML::Proofer under the hood to check whether links and images exist.

Requires Ruby 2.0+. Create the following files:

# Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'markdown_proofer', '~> 0.1.1'
gem 'rake'

# Rakefile

require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler'
Bundler.require(:default)

desc "Run Mardown validation for the repository"
task :validate_markdown do
  MarkdownProofer::RakeTask.run
end

task default: :validate_markdown

MarkdownProofer::RakeTask.run accepts the following named parameters:

• excludes – An Array of regular expressions. Any file paths that match will be excluded from validation. Defaults to excluding test-related files.
• html_proofer – Options passed to HTML::Proofer. See the HTML::Proofer documentation.
• path – The relative path to the file/directory that you want to validate. Defaults to the top-level directory.
