Links
In Markdown, a link is created by enclosing the link text in square brackets [Link text] and then following it immediately with the URL in parentheses (https://website-name.com).
[Link text](https://website-name.com)
For example:
We just launched [Codecademy Docs](https://producthunt.com) on Product Hunt!
The output would look like:
We just launched Codecademy Docs on Product Hunt!
Accessibility: Link Titles
A title for a link can be optionally added. This will appear as a tooltip when the user hovers over the link. To add a title, enclose it in parentheses () after the URL.
Links should have link titles so that screenreaders can narrate them as well as a user can Tab through the page.
[Link text](https://website-name.com 'Link title')
For example:
My favorite Craigslist category is [Missed Connections](https://newyork.craigslist.org/d/missed-connections/search/mis 'The best place on the internet').
The output would look like:
My favorite Craigslist category is Missed Connections.
URLs and Email Addresses
To quickly turn a URL or email address into a link, enclose it in angle brackets < >.
<https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs><[email protected]>
The rendered output looks like this:
- Learn more about how to get involved.
- Edit this page on GitHub to fix an error or make an improvement.
- Submit feedback to let us know how we can improve Docs.
