Multiple --url-ignore

[ilg-ul]

I noticed that the definition of --url-ignore displayed by --help uses a single option and a comma separated list of URLs.

bundle exec htmlproofer \
  --url-ignore "https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/,http://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/" \
  "${site}"

I think it would be useful to also construct the list from multiple options:

bundle exec htmlproofer \
  --url-ignore "https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/" \
  --url-ignore "http://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/" \
  "${site}"

The problem is that I think the underlying argument parser doesn't support options like that. I believe the parser has the last option "supersede" any of the previous arguments.

If you are aware of a Ruby argument parser that does support both commas as well as multiple --flag options, let me know!

Ruby is not really my field of expertise :-(

I have reported this upstream at jekyll/mercenary#49

If this is fixed upstream then we will be able to use the functionality here. Otherwise I do not think we will manually implement that here.

Closing this issue for now we can reopen if that issue is resolved there.
