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](#)

[an empty link definition][empty]

[empty]: #

But non-empty fragments will not:

[a valid fragment](#fragment)

Empty link definitions

Rationale: Empty links do not lead anywhere and therefore don't function as links.
