Possible bug?

Possible bug?

[Ivan Lazar Miljenovic]

I wanted to check my understanding of how Markdown reference links
work before I actually reported this as a bug.

As a minimal example, consider this file:

```
* [link]: is a very good link.

[link]: http://pandoc.org
```

My intent here is to have a bullet point where it starts with the word
"link", which is a link specified later.  However, when I run Pandoc
on this I get:

pandoc: Duplicate link reference `[link]' "source" (line 3, column 1)

I've used this notation in the past without any problems; is this a
regression in the parser or has the usage/definitions of reference
links changed?

I don't think this is a bug. This behaviour is intended to allow

    *   Foo Bar [link]
    
        [link]: http://pandoc.org

that is convert into

    <ul>
    <li><a href="http://pandoc.org">link</a> is a very good link.</li>
    </ul>

For your minimal example work you need to scape : using

    * [link]\: is a very good link.

    [link]: http://pandoc.org

I know this is odd but this is a common problem of markup languages.

The fix is the create your link in a way that isn't
ambiguous with a reference definition:

```
* [link][]: is a very good link.

[link]: http://pandoc.rog
```
