Package: linkchecker
Version: 2.9-2
Severity: minor

Maybe I'm a bit tense, but the man page doesn't seem to be clear about
the way --intern and --extern work.  If I understand it correctly,
--intern allows you to specify external patterns as internal so they
will be checked (because only internal links are checked recursively);
and --extern treats local patterns as external so they won't be
checked?  Does this make any sense?  I'm quite confused.

Basically, what I want to do is this:
 1. I want to check all of my homepage (http://www.cyrius.com/),
    except for stuff under /gallery because that's automatically
    generated and so shouldn't have wrong URLs anyway (and there
    are *many* links to check there)
 2. Ignore mailto: links (or only check their syntax)

Can you give me an example how to do 1., 2. and 1+2 together?  And
maybe can you put them in the man page and clarify those options a
bit.  As I said, maybe I'm just tense, but I cannot make any sense of
the description in the man page.

Having said this, thanks for writing linkchecker.  It's really useful
and I found and fixed some broken URLs on my homepage due to it.
