Markdown from scratch · Chapter 4
Links and pictures
A link in Markdown has two parts, the text in square brackets and the target in round brackets right after it. You write a picture the same way, just with an exclamation mark in front.
Linking to a web page
The recipe comes from [my favourite site](https://example.com/bread).
The recipe comes from my favourite site.
An address that starts with https:// becomes a link even without brackets. If you put angle brackets around it, it stays safely together, even when a punctuation mark follows right after.

Linking to a file in your vault
The target can also be a file in your vault, with a path that starts from the note. You write spaces in the name as %20.
See [the ingredient list](Bread%20ingredients.md).

Between notes, wiki links like [[Bread ingredients]] are much more comfortable, and they have a chapter of their own, Wiki links. nexlore updates both kinds of links when you rename a note.
Putting pictures into a note
The text in square brackets describes the picture for everyone who can't see it. Usually the picture lives in the Attachments folder next to the note.
Lore saysYou don't have to link pictures by hand. Just drag them into the editor or paste them with Ctrl + V, and nexlore takes care of the rest. How exactly that works is explained under Attachments.
