Bug ID: 50331
Summary: VisualEditor throws <nowiki> next to any square
bracket [
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
It is usual to use [square brackets], [...] inside quotes to cut or complete
sentences in quotes. As for today, VisualEditor will add <nowiki> tags like
this:
<nowiki>[Square brackets]</nowiki>
<nowiki>[...]</nowiki>
This is not a big deal since the users will keep seeing the same in the
published article, but it adds unnecessary cruft in edit source mode and it's
wrong.
Also, according to Bug 47678 this means that editors won't be able to edit the
content inside those brackets with VisualEditor, because of the <nowiki> tags.
