Links published HTML or XHTML
To enable the archive and posterior access to contents, it is fundamental that links are published using HTML or XHTML.
Crawlers cannot efficiently follow links embedded in programs, such as Javascript or Flash.
As consequence, the contents referenced by these kind of links, frequently cannot be crawled and archived. This is the main reason why some archived pages are presented incompletely or do not allow navigation to other archived pages.
- Links should be published using the HTML or XHTML formats.
