Here again is an explanation, this time in markdown:

1. Bad

You can find the manual for Template [here][tt].

[ttt]: https://themanualfortt


2. Good

You can [find the manual for Template here][ttt].

[tt]: https://themanualfortemplate

Note that these are not the right URL, just some nonsense I put in.

In the bad example, jumping to the link would make my screen reader say
'here'.

Jumping to the second would say 'find the manual for template here'.

You can understand the difference. In the first one I land on a link and
have no idea what is 'here'.  So then I have to move the cursor to read
(hear) what is here.

So for show notes submitted in markdown, as in HTML, it's down to the
author I guess, rather than Dave's gizmos.
