Arguments

text	A character vector of text with another vector of URLs passed to the url argument.

Details

A link contains link text (the visible text), a link destination (the URI that is the link destination), and optionally a link title. There are two basic kinds of links in Markdown. In inline links the destination and title are given immediately after the link text.

A link text consists of a sequence of zero or more inline elements enclosed by square brackets ([ and ⁠]⁠)...

An inline link consists of a link text followed immediately by a left parenthesis (, optional whitespace, an optional link destination, an optional link title separated from the link destination by whitespace, optional whitespace, and a right parenthesis ⁠)⁠. The link’s text consists of the inlines contained in the link text (excluding the enclosing square brackets). The link’s URI consists of the link destination, excluding enclosing ⁠<...>⁠ if present, with backslash-escapes in effect as described above. The link’s title consists of the link title, excluding its enclosing delimiters, with backslash-escapes in effect as described above.

Value

A glue vector of collapsed display text and associated URLs.
