Description

Related to https://github.com/oasisprotocol/docs/issues/4

I found a good approximation for detecting bad links. Find any ../../ in build folder:
grep -o -E '\.\./\.\./.{0,50}' -r ./build; test $? -eq 1

And even better, find all href:"relative in build folder:
grep -o -E 'href:".{0,50}' -r ./build | grep -v -E 'href:"(https:|http:|mailto:|/|#)'; test $? -eq 1

Research direction

Start by building the documentation and running the two grep commands against ./build to inspect relative href values and ../../ paths. No specific files or tests are named; done means the build process detects links that can break after a refresh without flagging absolute, anchor, or mailto links.
