http(s)://...goes inside the parentheses, not the square brackets. \$\endgroup\$ Feb 22, 2015 at 1:19 -
\$\begingroup\$ Well I think so. The
[...]character pair has more in common with other typical code/text-to-be-parsed character pairs like{}and<>(e.g.<title>...), whereas(...)are commonly used in normal text written for literate display. So this sets up the expectation that[link]is the http-link while the title goes along in the paranthesis following. Maybe it is only to me this is misleading, but I expect this to apply for other people as well. \$\endgroup\$– hlovdalFeb 22, 2015 at 1:33
