are committed +2. **Link Checker:** Integrate automated link checking to identify broken external links +3. **Documentation Guidelines:** Establish guidelines for external link maintenance (e.g., prefer stable documentation URLs) + +## Tools Used +- `codespell`: Python spell checker for source code +- Custom Python HTML validation script +- Manual review and verification + +## Conclusion + +This documentation check has successfully: +- ✅ Fixed 65 spelling errors across 53 files (40% reduction) +- ✅ Verified HTML structure is sound +- ✅ Identified external links requiring manual verification +- ✅ Confirmed historical version references are appropriate + +The documentation quality has been significantly improved, with remaining issues primarily requiring manual review rather than automated fixes. diff --git a/eclipse.platform.common/bundles/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv/reference/misc/api-usage-rules.html
