Z108: EMPTY_LINK_TEXT¶

Severity: Error

Penalty: 0.0 points | Category: general
Remediation & Opt-In

Auto-Fixable: No | Opt-In: No

Rationale¶

This rule is emitted when an inline link tag [...] contains empty brackets or whitespace-only text.

Links without accessible text labels violate web accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1) and screen readers cannot describe the link destination to visually impaired users.

How to Fix¶

Inspect the flagged location in the Markdown file and update the content or configuration:
