[I] Insert textlink generates wrong markdown

[BsNoSi]

Expected behaviour

Using text link creates a correct notation for hyperlink with title:

[link text](URL "link text title")

Actual behaviour

Result of this input

looks like this:

[link text](http://URL) link text title

Steps to reproduce

Use »insert text link« for inserting a text link

---

Note:

The cursor highlighting of the 'simplified operation' in Windows is always incorrectly positioned. in the editor window 'grossly incorrect':

I don't have another qt application for comparison. I suspect it's a bug there (so QQwnNotes ‘has to live with it’). Hence, no error message for it.

link text

That's not vanilla Markdown. There is no "description" in Markdown. In the case of QOwnNotes it's just some extra text you can add after the link for more clarity (like used for the "bookmark" feature).

Use »insert text link« for inserting a text link

And then?

🤔 Vanilla Markdown?
I use Daring Fireball / Common Mark, which is generally considered "standard definition". So I was expecting the third input field to be "title".

"title" is supported as expected here at gihub (hovering the mouse over a link will show a label as I gave in this comment).

Daring Fireball

Ah, sorry, they even mention This is [an example](http://example.com/ "Title") inline link..
But QOwnNotes doesn't set the title, since it would only show up in a web-browser. That's why it's named Description.

💡 I understand: Description ≠ title.

A "web title" in my understanding is a "description". I use it by default because exported HTML should be accessible to disabled people using reading automation that prefers a title to reading the URL.

Those are link titles: https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.1.4

I know.

• Title tags are a necessity for accessible websites (EN 301 549).
• They support screen readers.
• The provide predictive information, additional context for search engines and users.
• They improve click-through rates.

That is why I add title information to my markdown, which is for me always the basis for HTML export.
