Hi Dan,
I may have rare PoV, but IMO being aligned with makros doesn't make it a
good syntax.
Links are the most used elements in the document, and if done wrong, can
severely impair readability of the source text.
Using the link:{...} approach adds additional effort to thing that should
be trivial - linking. 95 % of links in normal docs just need a label and
URL. The label is what is important to make it readable, the URL is just
data.
Not having it as easy as possible demotivates people from linking, making
documentation worse.
Hence I suggest to add support for alternative link syntax, which put the
text in front, and the human unreadable URL to the back.
Thanks for considering.
