It sounds like you didn't follow the installation instructions
<https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed/blob/master/docs/install.md>
linked from the README.  You're probably fine by now, but I find that
people often run into problems because they cowboy'd the installation
and missed some important steps. ^_^

These are because strings like "[FOO]" are recognized by Bikeshed as
text macros, which get substituted with something else at run-time.
For a biblio reference, you want to double up on the brackets, to get
"[[DOM4]]", etc.  This is described in
<https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed/blob/master/docs/markup.md#autolink-shortcuts>.
