Steps to reproduce

In Live Preview mode, add a footnote with a link immediately at the start.

Expected result

It should look like a link.

Actual result

It only shows source code, unless you add another character between the colon and the square brackets:

Source:

[^3]: [link](https://forum.obsidian.md/) not rendered as link
[^4]: a [link](https://forum.obsidian.md/) properly rendered as link

Both render fine in Reading mode.

Environment

Obsidian 0.14.0 (also 0.13.33) on macOS Big Sur.
