Ah that was tackled in that genetic syntax thread as well Sam. Basically it can be thought of as “syntactic sugar” and auto converted to the full `{}` form internally.

Here is a copy of the relevant section:

### Embedded Media

```
!mediaType[description](url){#myId .myClass key=val key2="val 2"}

```

- assumed to be image if mediaType left blank

- syntactic sugar ( content of `()` handled by mediaType handler/extension):
