Template:!(/doc

Use this template to produce the  character or characters " [ " as ordinary text rather than as part of a link [[ ]],  transclusion {{ }}, variable {{{ }}}, etc.
The  HTML character code "[" may also be used, which will never be interpreted as markup even if nested in multiple templates or similar.
