For example by parsing the file and reporting the lines with broken links in a separate buffer so they can be fixed one after another? If not, I imagine this is possible to implement (at least to some extent) as a lisp-function. What do you all think? :) My incentive for having this function is the following: I have started using org mode to organize things at work. One of the nice uses of org-mode is to keep link reminders together with my notes, so that I quickly can find where information is located when I need to retrieve it months/years later. However, paths to where I keep files may be renamed as projects develop, servers are changed, or as I "brainstorm" my way through different projects. As my org-files can be quite large now, I have no way of remembering which links I need to rename. It would be great to (org-check-for-broken-links &optional org-files-list) once in a while to keep links up-to-date. This could make it easier for me and perhaps the next person that sometime will take over my job. --00032557357653154104945e17ba Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear all,
