Description

It seems that poetry doesn't validate the README markup. Furthermore, because no setup.py file is present in a poetry project, I cannot use readme_renderer (which is usually invoke via python setup.py check -r -s).

It would be nice to have a way to invoke such setup check routines, or better yet, have poetry validate the README itself.

Related: #761

A temporary workaround is to use python -m readme_renderer README.rst >/dev/null to check.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's proposed README validation approaches and the related discussion in #761. Compare the existing workaround, python -m readme_renderer README.rst >/dev/null, with the requested Poetry behavior. Done should mean that a Poetry project can validate its README markup through a clearly defined Poetry-supported workflow.
