# MD042 - No empty links

Tags: links

Aliases: no-empty-links

This rule is triggered when an empty link is encountered:

    [an empty link]()

To fix the violation, provide a destination for the link:

    [a valid link](https://example.com/)

Empty fragments will trigger this rule:

    [an empty fragment](#)

But non-empty fragments will not:

    [a valid fragment](#fragment)
