Tracking Links in Text Email

I have been looking through the Community to find information on tracking links in the text version of an HTML email.  However, I can't seem to find a definitive answer to my question. Do brackets need to be added around URL's in the text version of an email while in the draft mode?

For example if I include:

<www.examplecompany.com>

in my email, should it look like this in the final email for tracking:

[[<www.examplecompany.com>]]

Thank you!

Yes, absolutely.  But don't include those gt/lt (<>) symbols, and make sure to include or as well.

Just want to mention that if you have a link that is tracked in the HTML version, the text side will include a tracked link automatically if you click "Copy from HTML"

I just wanted to confirm.
