![image of Luigi] vs [image of Luigi]

I guess the exclamation point (!) is what tells lemmy to embed the link. I wonder if that works with non-image url's?

Edit: Huh... nifty. And that's where my knowledge hits a wall, cause I have no idea what's happening in the background, where one url can be embedded as an image, and the other shows up as a "'obj' box". I just don't understand enough to know what makes an "image" embedable

    I have no clue how it is processed, you can link to a community by writing

    [!world@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/world)

    And a URL by writing

    [text](https://www.lemm.ee/)
    

    Also when you write something in bold or italic or code it is 'translated' by the backend because the html output is different the the plain text input.

    But I'm no programmer, so I don't really know.

    Thank you; I'ma have to dig-in a little as to what html and markdown are, and how I can understand them better. I always feel like I'm missing some kind of "common knowledge" when it comes to the intermingling of internet/network/program-language. I'm no programmer either, but forever curious
