Link Alias Syntax in Markdown

Adding Alias for link

usually what we do to insert a link in markdown file

Normal way

normally we use banana syntax i.e. using [link](address); for example

see my [github profile](https://github.com/xkeshav)

Problem

when we have to write multiple links on multiple place in same document then we have to repeat the same syntax and sometime same link on multiple places then it is become mess

and sometimes the long link address makes file unreadable

Solution: Alias

to overcome above issue. we can add link alias and use the alias in place of the link in [text][alias] format

[!NOTE]

below things to consider in syntax

no space before opening [
put one space after colon :
no space between link and alias [text][alias]
alias order does not matter
you can name alias to number or any word

Bonus Tip

you can put link either near the snippet or at the ends of content using comment feature;
