have to escape the bracket with a backslash. For example to get a &quot;[&quot;
+
without a corresponding &quot;]&quot; you should enter "'''\['''".

Thus to typeset the interval [3;8) you should enter <font color="red">\[3 ";" 8\)</font>. The quotation marks around the semicolon ensures that it

is not typeset in italic. (You're right, this has nothing to do with

For scalable brackets it is essential that '''left''' and

<div style="background-color:#EEE;border:solid 1pt #AAA;padding:10px;margin-top:20px">
'''right''' matches, since the content that the brackets

In this case you can use the invisible bracket '''none''' to
 
get a single bracket. For example to get a scalable &quot;[&quot;
 
without a corresponding &quot;]&quot; you should enter <font color="red">'''left [
