Top tip: use backslashes to escape brackets in links, like this [something](http://foo.com/link_\(brackets\))

EDIT: figured out how to stop hyperlinking by reading Vladimir_Nesov's comment below. The trick is not to escape the first open parenthesis!

If you write in the editor

\[something\](http://example.com/link_\\\(brackets\\\))

then it'll render as

[something](http://example.com/link_\(brackets\))

which is what you'd need to write in the editor to get

something

That's what I wrote, except that I escaped the first parenthesis; not doing that suppresses the hyperlinking. Thanks!
