This fixes the markdown warnings for no-undefined-references and no-shortcut-reference-link using proper footnotes.

Closes #18

A casual contributor may not have time to get fully up to speed with your project. Nearly half of contributors on popular GitHub projects, for example, only made one contribution.[^1] This level of noise can be overwhelming at first. But the more people feel ownership of your project, the more work can be distributed.[^2] It will be much less stressful than trying to do everything yourself.

[^2]: [Node.js](https://github.com/nodejs) is a big project that helped popularize some of these ideas. See [Building a Better Node Community.](https://medium.com/node-js-javascript/building-a-better-node-community-3f8f45b45cb5)

@nayafia This doc was missing a footnote for 2 and 3 wasn't used. Is this the right footnote for 2?
