Disallow multiple spaces around link text.

Rule Details ​

This rule disallows spaces or tabs at the start and end of inline and reference link text.

Link text is defined as the content between square brackets. Consistent spacing around link text makes Markdown sources easier to read.

It ignores autolinks, images, and multiline link text, allows internal spaces, and avoids fixes that would break links.
