Adding a title to a Markdown link

Here’s a little something I learned recently about Markdown links.

You can optionally add a title to a link by enclosing it in quotes after the URL.

[Link to something awesome](https://dev.to/ "Check out Dev.to")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Unfortunately, not all websites support this. Here on Dev.to, for example, the string is ignored. On the other hand, it works on GitHub.

Demo

Most Markdown cheatsheets I’ve seen don’t mention this so there’s always something new we can learn, I guess. :)
