==Format== Link Sleuth runs on [[Microsoft Windows]]. Link verification is performed on links which appear in <code><a></code> tags, as well as images, frames, plug-ins, backgrounds, local image maps, style sheets, scripts, and Java applets. The program follows links to other pages, and checks the links on those pages also, so it is possible to check an entire site for broken links in one session. Xenu displays a continuously updated list of [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]]s which can be sorted according to different criteria.<ref>Gunther, D., [http://www.en.eun.org/etb/survey/d3.2.pdf Recommendation on Quality Assurance and Selection of resources for the ETB network] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927033200/http://www.en.eun.org/etb/survey/d3.2.pdf |date=September 27, 2007 }}, ''European Treasury Browser'', P. 48., 2002, retrieved {{clarify span |text=3/7/07 |explain=Slashed-dates are ambiguous; is this d/m/y or m/d/y? |date=January 2016 }}.</ref> The program uses a "simple, no-frills user-interface",<ref>McCoy, Linda., [http://optimal-marketing.com/cyberspace1310592005823.html Link Sleuth], ''Deccan Herald'', August 24, 2005, Retrieved 23 May 2014</ref> and can help users understand how certain Web sites are structured.<ref>Mruck, Katja., [http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs-texte/3-00/3-00mruck-e.htm Qualitative Research Networking: FQS as an Example], ''Qualitative Social Research'', Volume 1, No. 3, December 2000.</ref> The program has support for SSL Web sites.<ref>Mickiewicz, Matt., [http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=2&issue=279&format=html Download of the Week], ''SitePoint Tribune'', Issue 279., [[SitePoint]], February 5, 2004.</ref>
