@jschauma A friend of mine once told me that his magic trick to remember the order was that he came up with a silly song that went "🎵Markdown links are like arrays of functions🎵" -- I don't even know the melody but I never forgot those lyrics! And to remember whether the text of URL goes inside the parentheses, here's a trick of my own: OF COURSE it's the choice that causes problems with Wikipedia links that have disambiguation like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_(band) You're welcome!! 5 comments

@diogomafra @hisham_hm @jschauma @gruber I read that within a day of reading that brackets are before parentheses, alphabetically, so I can’t say which actually did it, but I haven’t forgotten since.

@diogomafra Copying @gruber’s tweet text here partly for anyone who doesn’t want to go over there, but mostly for my own reference: “My thinking when I created Markdown is that the [brackets] around the link text look like the rectangle of a hovered-over link rendered in the browser. Make sense?”

@hisham_hm @jschauma Yeah it’s the “will this actually work with a Wikipedia link” anxiety that helped me remember the order as well!! |

@hisham_hm @jschauma for me, the explanation @gruber gave here made me never forget it again: https://twitter.com/gruber/status/944045881363443712
