# `MD011` - Reversed link syntax
Tags: `links`
Aliases: `no-reversed-links`
Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling
This rule is triggered when text that appears to be a link is encountered, but
where the syntax appears to have been reversed (the `[]` and `()` are
reversed):
```markdown
(Incorrect link syntax)[https://www.example.com/]
```
To fix this, swap the `[]` and `()` around:
```markdown
[Correct link syntax](https://www.example.com/)
```
Note: [Markdown Extra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown_Extra)-style
footnotes do not trigger this rule:
```markdown
For (example)[^1]
```
Rationale: Reversed links are not rendered as usable links.
