Link Syntax
Link text is placed in square brackets, and the link address is placed in parentheses after it. The link title is optional.
Markdown syntax for hyperlinks: [link text](link address "link title")
Corresponding HTML code: <a href="link address" title="link title">link text</a>

Adding a Title to Links
The link title is the text that appears when you hover over the link. This title is optional and is placed in parentheses after the link address, separated by a space from the link address.

Adding Email and URLs
Use angle brackets <
to wrap email addresses or URLs, and Markdown will automatically convert them to links.

Use **

Best Practices for Links
Different Markdown applications handle spaces in URLs differently. For compatibility, try to use %20 instead of spaces.
