How to edit the link description of a link in markdown style?

Hawe51 · January 6, 2021, 6:50pm

Hi community,

I often use links in my notes in markdown style like [description](link).
Is there any way to edit the description part of such a link, especially in iOS and iPadOS?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Do you mean after the markdown has been converted to a link? I think you could drag the cursor into the link, and start editing that way.

Is the problem that you can’t interact with the link without touching it and opening it?

@drewmccormack: Yes, I couldn’t edit the link description after the markdown was converted to a link. However, I found the trick in the conversation „Rename Hyperlinks“ that @mekentosj pointed me to.

Thanks to both of you for the quick help.
