I first posted this to the Ruby project by mistake, but at least means that both Ruby and Node users will benefit from it.

Here is what it originally read:


(...)[^footnote]

Is regarded as a reverse link, because markdownlint considers footnote syntax (part Markdown Extra) a link.

@DavidAnson commented on GitHub (May 3, 2016):

markdownlint supports the CommonMark specification, not Markdown Extra, so there are probably other incompatibilities. That said, this particular one seems fairly easy to special-case, so I'll do so in a future release. Thanks for reporting it!
