You just need to say what you want to do as an angry German:

xtract ze files.
compress ze Files.

Never forgot it since I read that.

@jpmens @jschauma

Not mentioning [URL text] (for Wikipedia) and yes unfortunately also [Link Text|URL] (for Jira).

@jpmens @jschauma tar xvf archive.tar

@jpmens @jschauma For org-mode, the URL coming first makes sense to me: always think of it as being the important part, followed by optional decoration. Perhaps that's why the markdown doesn't make sense to me.

@jpmens @jschauma oh my actual fucking god.

One of my coding modules at uni ended with something like “now compress the file into a tarball and submit on turnitin”.

Even following the shitty walkthrough from the instructor with the console line command pre-written, I still struggled so much I nearly cried in that damn workshop ffs.

@jpmens interesting, for me it's the other way around, I only remember the OrgMode syntax, since in OrgMode syntax the order is like in the html tag: <a href="LINK">TEXT</a>
@jschauma

@jpmens @jschauma I always insert and edit links with C-c C-l so I have no idea (and don't need to have). I suppose the link must come first because that's the first query

#emacs #orgmode

@jpmens
Orgmode is way easier to remember, if you know your HTML: a tag has the href field with the url, and inside the tag the text.

< a href ... > text < / a >

So also Orgmode: first the url, then the text.
