I think you might not have Markdown editing mode selected then? Because if I put:
[example](https://example.com)
it shows up as “example”.
I don’t understand why users would use markdown, unless they already knew it.
I’m used to markdown from other rationalist forums and I guess it just makes it easier for me. Also the editor does incorporate some markdown features like# for headers, but leaves out others. So it’s confusing.
