Hi, Doesn't the demarcation in the text itself provide that context inherently? Anyone reading the text would assume that the brackets mean there is editor inserted comment.

Lee] was hamstrung by his [J.E.B. Stuart's] absence from the battlefield for the first two days of fighting, depriving him [Lee] of the up-to-date intelligence the calvary ordinarily provided.</q> ---------------------------------------------------------------- CONSERVATIVE, n.
