Why not just %QINCLUDE="bracket": ?
Why the extra '='? The extra '=' is needed for the %Quotestyle macro
specifically.

JR> the use of single & double quotes.
If you use the %Wrapped macro the line needs to be unbroken, i.e.,
%Wrapped="this should be one unbroken line of text"
The syntax should be as follows:
%Wrapped='On %ODATEEN %QINCLUDE="otime", you wrote the following in
regards to %QINCLUDE="bracket":'
Ok, let me see if I can explain:
If you create a macro that has a value attached to it, this value is
bound by double quotations.
%Macro="value"
Now, if you wish to define another macro *within* the value for a
macro, you have to place two quotations for every one that would
appears within the first macros value. Wow, confusing. :=)
Anyway, here is an example:
%Macro1="Macro2=""value"""
^^ ^^
Note the doubled double quotations.
To avoid having a lot of doubled quotations you can do this:
%Macro1='Macro2="value"'
Basically you need to differentiate the recursed macros value from
that of the parent macros. In one case you use doubled double
quotations or you use single quotes for the parent macro and double
quotes for the recursed macro.
