Many of us are accustomed to adding hypertext links to rich text using the link tool in the Rich Text Editor. (Figure 1) Unfortunately, the Link Checker tool does not check these links. As a result, our LibGuides have accumulated hundreds of broken links over the years.
Figure 1. Link tools in the Rich Text Editor.
To fix this problem, we need to re-think the way we add links to LibGuides. A good solution is converting in-text links to link assets.
The example below shows an except from a guide with in-text links that are invisible to the Link Checker (Figure 2).
Below this, you see the same content after its redesign. Links are now visible to the link checker because they have been converted to link assets.
