Feature Request: New rule to disallow reference-style links #2008
Description
Markdown currently has two styles of links
- inline links
Hello, [this is a link](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#links), isn't that cool?
- reference links
Here is [another link][link-slug], but this is a reference-style link. [link-slug]: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#reference-style-links
Inline links can make the Markdown source difficult for humans to read, but reference links can also be difficult to read when using some editors with less-than-complete Markdown parsing. If a user could disable one or the other kind of link using a lint, it could make documents easier to read in codebases which prefer one or the other style.
