Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Infrastructure :: Source Documentation, enhancement)

Description

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

sphinx has link checker:
https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/configuration.html#options-for-the-linkcheck-builder

we should have this option in mach doc
I propose that we have
./mach doc --linkcheck

it will return a bunch of output like:
