Commented Out Links Being Checked

I have HTML links that I know are broken commented out in <!-- --> comment tags. Broken Link Checker still detects these. After researching how Broken Link Checker could be fixed to strip comments out of its string it matches against, I came across a regular expression which I tested on https://regexr.com/ to see if it was a viable option. This RegEx was able to match the comments in HTML so that you could replace(); the comments in the string with an empty string ("") to strip them out. This RegEx is /<!--(.|\n)*?-->/g. You could then grab the input string of the post and run this against myString.replace(/<!--(.|\n)*?-->/g, "");.

This would get rid of the false positive in your checking. I think this a very much needed feature, as this would generate a lot of false positives if you’ve commented out old video, audio, or image links.

Thank you for your assistance.
