Wow, that was a quick reply!

Yes, indeed, I was putting a space between ] and (. I have corrected that and now both the links work as they should :-).

May I ask a supplementary question please: How are em-dashes and en-dashes handled in Markdown?

Thank you.

Dear Folks,

I am just starting out with Markdown and am trying to get two
elements working:

(1) An inline HTML link; and

(2) An inline mailto: link

as shown in the text below:

We invite you to [browse] (http://academy.swanlotus.com/index.html)
this website. Take a look and see if you find anything useful. And
do [drop us a line] (mailto:feedb...@swanlotus.com) with your
comments for improvement.

I tried it out on Dingus and failed to get the expected HTML
version like:

We invite you to<a
href="http://academy.swanlotus.com/index.html";>browse</a>  this
website. Take a look and see if you find anything useful. And do<a
href="mailto:feedb...@swanlotus.com";>drop us a line</a>  with your
comments for improvement.

Instead, Dingus gave me:

We invite you to [browse] (http://academy.swanlotus.com/index.html)
this website. Take a look and see if you find anything useful. And
do [drop us a line] (mailto:feedb...@swanlotus.com) with your
comments for improvement.

This is my first experience with Markdown, although I am conversant
with HTML and very conversant with LaTeX.

What am I doing wrong and why am I not getting the expected HTML
markup?

FYI, I am on Kubuntu 11.10 using Markdown, version 1.0.1 from the
standard .deb package.

Thanks in advance.
