Simple badges

• Simple badges are simply defined by wrapping their content with [[ and ]].
• You may specify a custom class by wrapping the class name between double tilde ~~.
• If the double tilde wraps the whole badge content, then its content will be used as the class name.

- [[default]]
- [[~~custom-class~~default]]
- [[~~recommended~~]]

Reference badges

• Reference badges work the same way as simple badges, but they include a link.
• Just like simple badges, their content is delimited by [[ and ]].
• Inside thoese delimiters, you must use the ref keyword, followed by a pipe | and the link.
• By default, the badge content will display "reference".
• A custom label can be set by adding a : after the ref keyword, followed by the label.

- [[ref|https://example.com]]
- [[ref:Lean more|https://example.com]]
- [[~~custom-class~~ref|https://example.com]]
- [[~~custom-class~~ref:Lean more|https://example.com]]
