Webchecker

----------
|
|
This is a simple web tree checker, useful to find bad links in a web
|
tree. It currently checks links pointing within the same subweb for
|
validity. The main program is "webchecker.py". See its doc string
|
(or invoke it with the option "-?") for more defails.

|
supports checking internal links (#spam fragments in URLs) and some
|
other options.
|
|

|
into webchecker.py, and corresponding mods to wcgui.py and

|
handle XHTML's 'id' attribute.
