   TIL that Eleventy (per markdown-it and the CommonMark spec) support a "shortcut" link format as well as case-insensitive link references, so this is a valid link to example.com:

   ```
   [Foo]

   [foo]: https://example.com
   ```

     @jsit did that allow for omitting the brackets after the link? [Foo][] vs. [Foo]

     @annika This is part of the original spec from 2004, too! https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#link
