Links and images in Markdown can provide the link destination or image source at the time of use or can define it elsewhere and use a label for reference. The reference format is convenient for keeping paragraph text clutter-free and makes it easy to reuse the same URL in multiple places. There are three kinds of reference links and images: ```markdown Full: [text][label] Collapsed: [label][] Shortcut: [label] Full: ![text][image] Collapsed: ![image][] Shortcut: ![image] [label]: https://example.com/label [image]: https://example.com/image ``` A link or image renders correctly when a corresponding label is defined, but the text displays with brackets if the label is not present. This rule warns of undefined labels for "full" and "collapsed" reference syntax. > "Shortcut" syntax is ambiguous and a missing label will not generate an error. For example, `[shortcut]` could be a shortcut link or the text "shortcut" in brackets.
