Markdown Link Extractor
Pull all the links out of a Markdown document into a clean list of text and URLs.
Collecting links from Markdown
Markdown links have a particular format — the text in square brackets, the URL in parentheses — and pulling them out of a long document by hand is tedious. This extracts every link from Markdown into a tidy list of link text and destinations, handy for auditing a README, checking the references in documentation, or gathering the URLs from a Markdown-written article.
Paste the Markdown and the links are extracted into a list.
Why pull them out
A clean list of a document's links makes several jobs easy: checking none are broken, seeing where a document points, gathering sources into a reference list, or feeding the URLs into another tool. It handles both inline links and the reference-style links Markdown also supports. For anyone maintaining documentation or content in Markdown, extracting the links is a quick way to audit and tidy what a document connects to.
