Welcome to Draw 3 Cards

Question

1

There's a helpful question spelling out how to use double square brackets [[]] to include card images, and triple square brackets [[[]]] to include links to card images: http://draw3cards.com/questions/234/how-do-i-enter-card-images-in-questions-and-answers

However, I've also seen people include links to card images from comments on questions and answers, where most formatting is disabled. See for example the comments at the top of http://draw3cards.com/questions/1526/best-walls-of-all-time . Mike1229 tried to include a link to a card with double square brackets [[]], but that didn't work. theatog was able to include a link to a card image in his reply.

I tried using triple square brackets [[[]]] in comments on this answer, but that didn't work either: http://draw3cards.com/questions/302/infinite-combo-in-current-standard-alara-zendikar-worldwake-rise-of-eldraz/1800#1800

I've had a look around, and can't find this explained anywhere. So the natural thing to do is ask it as a question.

Also, is the behaviour identical between [comments on questions] and [comments on answers]? I assumed it was, but thought I ought to check.

Using triple brackets is the correct way to link to cards in comments.

There is a slight oddness when you leave image links in comments:

Using double brackets doesn't work, but that's understandable because there's no room in a comment for full size images.
When using triple brackets, until you refresh the page you won't see the links. However, after a refresh the image hover links work well - check out your comment.

Also, this mechanism should work the same for all kinds of comments, both on questions and on answers.

How do I link to card images in comments on questions or comments on answers?
