    Gagh! It'd be funny if it weren't so infuriating. I like spell-checking for English. It's really nice when you can't quite remember whether there is 1 'r' or 2 in "assurance", say. But after I've typed '`' (backquote) I don't want any help with screwing my code! I can screw it up on my own. Has any one else been irritated enough to figure this out already?

    How do I make a link to a url using Markdown?

    OK, here is a url that I tried linking to in an answer on [this] page:

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Expanded_columns_in_folders_pane_(Thunderbird)

    If you click on the link, you will see that the link doesn't work as the closing bracket is omitted.

    How am I supposed to do it?

    I believe the solution is to put a '\' before the closing parenthesis.

    So this:

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Expanded_columns_in_folders_pane_(Thunderbird)

    becomes this:

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Expanded_columns_in_folders_pane_(Thunderbird\ ) (without the extra space)

    However, SuperUser seems to support URLs with the closing parenthesis in them, so it shouldn't be a problem here.

    Use URL Encoding opening bracket ( = %28 and closing bracket ) = %29
