+*** I'm using markdown "reference style" links for readability.
+*** Reference links are enclosed in brackets [ ] instead of parentheses ( ).
+*** See the bottom of this document for the declaration of the reference variables
+*** for contributors-url, forks-url, etc. This is an optional, concise syntax you may use.
