A brief Markdown Example

Markdown is what the parser uses to process much of the readme file.

List of features:

  1. Scan unlimited posts and pages to find ALL urls.
  2. It will categorise each url as either “successful”, “redirected” or “link failed” to show what the status of your url is on that page.
  3. Will allow you to see easily how all the links on your posts are doing and whether any are broken.
