[justinmk]

useful, thanks. All of the http:// (not https) URLs are also flagged by automation (but currently doesn't fail CI because we need to fix the links...): https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/56998feebd6f7ec0ab68e44cba3425bf39d448b4/scripts/gen_help_html.lua#L314-L317

[Roshanjossey]

I'll start looking into links I can fix. I'll keep a checklist in the issue description to track what's already done. I'll reach out to you when I have questions.

[justinmk]

Docs generation has greatly improved since this was reported. There are probably still links to be fixed, feel free to rerun the analysis, but probably in a new issue.
