title: this tests links
---


## These are some links that are valid in basic markdown

This is some text [that contains links][this fun link1] which 
[can be `inline`](https://example.com/2) or [can be spread across multiple lines
because the link text is JUST TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LONG, y'all](https://example.com/3).

Mainly, we want to see if [link text
by reference][link4] and if links [can be referenced multiple times][this fun link1]

This should also [include non-reference links](https://example.com/5)

If you [write]{.confession} \[some link text\]\[link2\], that will appear as [some link text][link2]
but you can also [test][racehorse] [sub][sub-link1] [links][sub_link2]

[pizza & icecream][pizzaicecream] = fun

```markdown
you can write links like [a link](https://example.com/racehorse) or using
[reference style][racehorce]

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


[this fun link1]: https://example.com/1
[link2]: https://example.com/2 "link with title!"
[link3]: https://example.com/3
[link4]: https://example.com/4
[racehorse]: https://example.com/racehorse/   
[sub-link1]: https://example.com/racehorse/1/1 "One One Won One"
[sub_link2]: https://example.com/racehorse/2/2/ "Two Two Won One Two"
[pizzaicecream]: https://example.com/pizza&icecream

## This is some extended markdown content {#extended .callout}

This should also include references that use [standalone] links and 
footnotes should not be properly parsed and will be considered 'asis' nodes,
at least that's what I *believe*[^footy]. Maybe this might not pan out [^but who
knows? footnotes are **WEIRD**, man].

<!-- links go here! -->

[standalone]: https://example.com/standalone
[^footy]: this is a footnote that
  should be preserved
