Markdown Link: [Text](URL) Hyperlinks

Links in Markdown

Links and images

Markdown syntax

Works everywhere

[link text](https://yamuno.com)

Inline link. The most common form.

Put the link text in square brackets and the URL straight after it in parentheses, with no space between them. For long or repeated URLs, reference-style links keep the paragraph readable.

Questions

Why isn't my link working?

A space between ] and ( breaks it: [text] (url) is plain text. Spaces inside the URL also break it; write them as %20 or wrap the URL in < >.

How do I open a link in a new tab?

Markdown has no syntax for it. Use HTML where allowed: <a href="https://yamuno.com" target="_blank">text</a>. GitHub ignores target.

How do I link to another Markdown file?

Use a relative path: [Setup](./setup.md). GitHub and most static site tools resolve it.

Link in Confluence

Links render in a Markdown Macro+ macro. On export, Markdown Exporter keeps external links as they are and rewrites links between Confluence pages as relative .md paths, or as [[wikilinks]] in Obsidian mode.
