In Scrapbox, bracketing keywords within text using brackets [ ] creates links within the project. This is the most important notation.
External links and text formatting are also done by enclosing them in brackets, like [* bold]. Thus, in Scrapbox, such āmarkupā actions are referred to as āBracketing.ā
When using the word āmarkup,ā thereās a tendency to focus on text formatting within a single page. However, when considering the organization of knowledge, inter-page linking is crucial. A notation that enables stress-free linking was essential. Bracketing meets this characteristic and is very effective.
