How do you write a link containing a closing bracket in markdown syntax?

Question

Markdown syntax for a link is pretty simple: ``` [Example](http://example.com/) ``` produces: Example But what if the link itself contains a closing bracket? ``` [Syntax](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_(programming_languages)) ``` produces: Syntax) which is obviously broken. Edit Putting the url in quotes does not work

Accepted Answer

You can try to escape the character:

```
[Syntax](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_$programming_languages$)
```

You can also encode the characters

```
[Syntax](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_%28programming_languages%29)
```
