Link reference used to be of the kind

[@spotify][spotify]

[sportify]: https://github.com/spotify

But now it is left unprocessed. 😞

Anybody has any idea how to deal with this ?

I can't find any indication for a change for markdown processing either on https://github.com/github/markup nor https://githubengineering.com/. Also the the GFM specs still contains reference links. Hopefully it's temporarily.

Also the the GFM specs still contains [reference links](https://github.github.com/gfm/#full-reference-link). Hopefully it's temporarily.

It was my fault but Stacey from Github found the issue.

Hey Julien,

It looks like the following link on line 709 as parenthesis around the link which seems to be breaking the subsequent references:

[ContainX](https://github.com/ContainX)

Changing the syntax to [ContainX] : https://github.com/ContainX should fix it up!

Cheers
Stacey 

Fixes in 3c57f60e12
