Heh, and then one still accidentally writes !()[] or ()[].

The other nuisance for my users was that the [] text is optional (and relatively worthless from user POV) in ![]() but not []().

I wonder if `!<url>` for images would've been nice alongside `<url>`.

Reddit + the Reddit Enhancement Suite browse plugin have a decent middleground where all urls are autolinked but image urls have additional expand/collapse UI.

Is it not converted to an alt attribute in the rendered HTML?
