I use a different one: it's the opposite of what you think it should be.
Like, it feels more natural to have text in round parentheses because those are used for text the most.

If you’re gathering mnemonics, I rely on the reference URL syntax to re-infer it every time.

  • [example][] lets you write a footnote that defines the URL, [example]: http://example.com.
  • [this also][example] refers back to that same footnote URL.
  • and therefore the second one is the URL and I’ve gotta change the [] to () if I want to inline the URL.

the thing that makes me remember it is just that it was inspired by the fact that people would reference links in email using parentheses, since markdown was inspired by what people were already doing in email to fake rich text. so it’s like uh:

this is just like that one video i saw the other day (https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ), you should watch it!
