Display Content in Square Brackets

i need this, too. i am admin of a cultural institution that organises events with titles containing words in square brackets. so there is no way around using these titles. i would be satisfied if i can define special expressions that should be displayed, eg. [standup comedy], [drama], [poetryslam] and so on.

Hi Jeff, @Douglas McGregor, thanks for the report!
This sounds like unintentional behavior.
Could you please share an example of content that causes display issues? And do you normally include it via an email's Text block, with blog posts, or some other way?
Additional info would help us better understand what's causing it.
Thanks!

Tautvidas: Apologies for taking so long to reply. Here's two examples of the problem I am encountering with the failure to display content in square brackets:
Citing legal decisions:
In the blog post a case is cited like this:
McGarrigle v UK Insurance Ltd [2023] SAC (Civ) 7
But in the Mailpoet email that sentence reads as follows - omitting the year.
McGarrigle v UK Insurance Ltd SAC (Civ) 7
And this quote inserted in the blog from the court decision (with each party's role in the litigation added in place of party names to assist readability)
“[11]. The first question is whether the [pursuer] is a party to any “legal relation providing some right”. That relation need not be with the [defender]. The [pursuer] is entitled to pursue the [defender] if the [defender] “either infringes or denies” that legal relation. The origin of the [pursuer’s] legal relation, whether with the [defender] or anyone else, is not of relevance to this test. The [pursuer] must have some legal relationship, which provides a right which the [defender] is accused of infringing or denying.”
is rendered like this in the email alert from Mailpoet
". The first question is whether the is a party to any “legal relation providing some right”. That relation need not be with the . The is entitled to pursue the if the “either infringes or denies” that legal relation. The origin of the legal relation, whether with the or anyone else, is not of relevance to this test. The must have some legal relationship, which provides a right which the is accused of infringing or denying."
You'll see that the paragraph number (which always appears on our judgments in square brackets) is omitted and any text contained in square brackets is also deleted rendering the quote incomprehensible in the email

Yes please Very frustrating for academic and legal topics where use of square brackets is commonplace.
