 * I want to create a post snippet with the title being U1 and the snippet text 
   being a url.
 * Is it then correct to use the shortcode in a page as follows:
 * [some text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-post-snippets-correct-use-of-shortcode/[s1]?output_format=md)
 * Will the snippet text (i.e. the url) be substituted in real time into the href?
 * Thankyou.

 * Sorry, that should have read…
 * I want to create a post snippet with the title being s1 and the snippet text 
   being a url.
 * Is it then correct to use the shortcode in a page as follows:
 * `<a href="[s1]" >some text</a>`
 * Will the snippet text (i.e. the url) be substituted in real time into the href?
 * Thankyou.
