Doesn't fail on external broken link

[dialex]

Urls such as...

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/PageThatDoesNotExistAndReturns404
• https://gibberish
• http://somedummypage.com/

...do not return warnings or errors. I was not expecting this.

So this tool only validates links to internal pages? If that's so, it should be made explicit.

@dialex Correct, that’s not supported, there are other tools that do that. Could you create a PR that makes the docs more clear?

[dialex]

Done @wooorm. Can you recommend me a tool to check for broken external links?

Should be something here! https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint#list-of-external-rules

I’ll close this for now, we can discuss the PR on it’s own page (but I’ll do that later)
