Is there an easy way to check for dead links? The 2009 page on Literate Programming from Nikitin - https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/User:Andrew_Nikitin/Literate - which I revamped for my GUI demo (in https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NYCJUG/2021-11-09) has a lot of references that either don't go anywhere or maybe are in an older style?
