Single brackets for inlinks?

I thought double brackets were being used to mark inlinks. Now, when I use single brackets as embedded parentheses in an answer, it comes out as an inlink, sometimes with missing words.

Was there a problem with using double brackets? Maybe I'm being picky, but I use single brackets rather often, and nested parentheses can get needlessly confusing. Could {braces} be used for inlinks instead?

Just curious.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The problem that triggered my question comes up in Mahalo Answers. Here are a couple of examples:

I wanted to put "your location" in single brackets, but when I did so it came out as an inlink for "location." The problem also showed up here:

where I wanted single brackets instead of the inner parentheses.

I always use double bracelets myself and have never experienced any problems.
