The CSS included with Nikola is appropriate only for the latest
version of docutils at the time of release. Docutils sometimes change
the CSS and HTML output — in this case, they moved the brackets from
the HTML output to CSS rules. Please make sure you have the latest
version of `docutils` and force a rebuild of your posts and pages (by
doing `rm -rf cache` or `nikola build -a`).

(I added some code on `master` to ensure Nikola always rebuilds when
the docutils version changes.)
