Someone once told me: "square peg, round hole" as a way to remember this and it stuck ever since.

Hope this helps you too :-)

> forget the syntax for links in markdown - do the square brackets and parentheses come around the text and link

Mnemonic for []() = squared circle

That gives the order.

If you don’t recall text and link, you can also think of [sic] meaning exactly this text, and of links as (optional).

The brackets are the title you want to show and the parentheses are the quiet link behind it.

I see it as calling a function with the link as the Arg stored in some structure. [SomeFunc](CalledWithLinkArg)

Not sure why that one stuck for me.
