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:

which is obviously broken.
Edit
Putting the url in quotes does not work

Markdown supports two style of links: inline and reference. In both styles, the link text is delimited by [square brackets]. To create an inline link, use a set of regular parentheses immediately after the link text's closing square bracket.
Markdown syntax for a hyperlink is square brackets followed by parentheses. The square brackets hold the text, the parentheses hold the link.
Parentheses “()” may be used as such in the query part of URL (i.e., the part after “?”). It is allowable, but not necessary, to %-encode them, as “%28” and “%29”. Brackets “[]” shall be %-encoded, as “%5B” and “%5D”, in the query part.
Hyperlinks are created using the syntax [text](link) , e.g., [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com) . The syntax for images is similar: just add an exclamation mark, e.g.,  . Footnotes are put inside the square brackets after a caret ^[] , e.g., ^[This is a footnote.] .
Sometimes you need to encode ) with %29.
