Drag and drop into editor produces odd syntax for link

Pardon me if I’m simply unaware of a convention that is being used here, but when I drag a note from the File List into an editor, I get a link to that note, but it is using a syntax that the software itself doesn’t encourage for input:

{{Link to Document}}

Versus:

[[Link to Document]]

The reason why I think I might be ignorant is that curly-braces do seem to function as an ad hoc link, like square brackets do. But I am missing the reasoning for why there would be two different styles of linking in one program.

  `{{foo}}` is transclusion, which is a built-in feature of MultiMarkdown.

   

  If you want to use WikiLinks within nvUltra, you can use `[[foo]]` which works a little bit differently and is designed for internal use in nvUltra, not for exporting to other formats.

   

  You can control this in the General preferences.

  That would explain my lack of familiarity! Since I use Scrivener to handle most large-scale MMD stuff, it's a capability I've never had to look into.

  Thanks for the tip on which setting to change.

  No worries -- glad that explained it!
