use <nowiki>text</nowiki> tags around the text you don't want to have parsed by MediaWiki as wiki text.

Hello all,

I can't seem to find the answer to this. It's likely somewhere rather obvious, but Google and my searches in the manual don't seem to get me the answer.

I need to use brackers [] in text when i truncate quotations, but that is obviously reserved for links... I tried to use the ISO character reference, &#91; and &#93;, and it works, but it's somewhat clumsy, and while I might be able to remember it, I can't expect all Wiki users to remember it.

How can I do this? Any ideas?

Thanks

Sean

I use both [] and [..] in quotations none generate any external link. I use MediaWiki 1.6.8, I tested it on wikipedia too.

So just go ahead and [] or [..] >)
