Explanation

I sometimes encounter Markdown documents where the list of links at the end of the document are idented by spaces. This should not happen.

I am not talking about link checking (issue https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/253). Meaning: Is every link listed in the block really used in the document. This would be left for real future work ^^.

This somehow refs https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/40
