Use this template to produce the character or characters " [ " as ordinary text rather than as part of a link [[ ]], transclusion {{ }}, variable {{{ }}}, etc.
The HTML character code "[" may also be used, which will never be interpreted as markup even if nested in multiple templates or similar.

  • Template:Bracket, to produce text such as "[example text]" or "[example text]"
