/*
syntax: <contents> link (on one line)
=> <a href="link">contents</a>

ommitting [] will make
=> <a href="link">link</a>

-<contents> link (to leave the text plain)
=> <contents> link

contents may not include right angle brackets or % by itself.
(is unescaped though so %3e will become > and %25 will become %)
(and %51 will become Q if you don't want to type Q for some reason)
