How do you embed a link within words?
You know where the words are highlighted/underlined and you click on them and it takes you to the link. It's so much more elegant than just posting the entire ungaingly URL.

5. Yeah, on DU...
you have to use square brackets instead of the angle brackets. The angle brackets are used in HTML.
