Inline HTML link and mailto: link

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar]

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.
