@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
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.

@jschauma
That's why I now use Orgmode.
(Yes, I know, it's just an excuse to learn #Emacs, still...)

@AAMfP @jschauma ... and with Org I always ask myself [[url][text]] or [[text][url]] 😂

@AAMfP [[text][url]] or [[url][text]]? 😅

@tekki
Url text, as I wrote here

Easy to remember.

@jschauma @jsled I know this was a joke (and it’s good) but in case it helps: the way I got this to stick for me is to think of it as a function call where () denotes the url parameter.

@jschauma
it's

text in Markdown, and
text &lt;url&gt;_ in RST, but
[url text] in MediaWiki, and
url[text] in AsciiDoc

because yay consistency

EDITed because I had the wrong one for AsciiDoc, <<url,text>> is only for internal references, thanks @genofire for pointing it out.

genofire,

@oblomov @jschauma your asciidoc is wrong:

https://a[text,_blank]

@genofire @jschauma
oh damn, right, the <<>> syntax is only for internal references.

@jschauma i remember that it looks like calling a function, with the url as a parameter. A bit weird, but i don't have to think about it anymore.

It's the order that confuses me. Opposite from HTML link tag markup.

@jschauma cURvy ones for URL, that is my memo to remind it correctly

@jschauma every time I take a break from my blog I hit this.

niconiconi,

@jschauma My mnemonic is, "[] is for citations like [1][2][3] or [source]".

@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me avatar

@niconiconi @jschauma That one confused me so I guess it's my equivalent of how some people can't get the order of ln -s right.

kura,

@jschauma took me a while to learn it's brackets and text first and round braces with url second.

Only learned it by remembering ![...] is for images and that appears first

Ah, mais ça me fait ça tout le temps !!!

@jschauma I use editor shortcuts to help me not make this mistake.

I also noticed this one for VIM users: https://ryan-schachte.com/notes/vim_link_binding/

Avec #obsidian, on a une assistance à la rédaction : ça m’aide énormément et surtout pour les liens.

benmeier_,

@jschauma I use the mnemonic "Squaring [..] the circle (..)" to remember the order.. then I just have to remember whether it's the text or link first 🤦‍♂️

@benmeier_ @jschauma

Pas mal, comme astuce… mais oui, j’ai aussi ce problème d’ordre.

Ne serais-tu pas dyslexique, toi aussi ?
