Template:!(/doc

This subpage contains documentation, categories and other content that is not part of the template.
To view the template page itself, see Template:!(.

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.
