I know. That's what's wrong with it. It is severely underpowered, and so uses a 
wretched hybrid approach like C uses a preprocessor because it is underpowered.

In reddit, is it [link](description) or [description](link) or 
(link)[description] or (description)[link]? I have to read the dam help file 
every time. No, I can't remember what it is for which Markdown flavor, either.

BTW, using macros have cut my web page writing time by about 75%. It's also a 
joy to just change the macro definitions and voila! the whole web site fixes itself.
