Escape character for scratchblocks

Scratchblocks can't show everything.

Code:

[scratchblocks]say [This is a right bracket: "]"  It doesn't work here.][/scratchblocks]

say [This is a right bracket: "]"  It doesn't work here.]
But an escape character, which puts the next character into the current text field no matter what it is, would fix that problem. With an escape, the above block would be

Code:

[scratchblocks]say [This is a right bracket: "\]"  It works here!][/scratchblocks]

What do you think?

Re: Escape character for scratchblocks

excape characters may confuse new scratchers - where to place it, and it might cause even more problems, like when the forum shows "\" or not. Maybe a paired element will be good.

You sir, just blew my sleep deprived mind.

Makes logical sense to me for the original post.

Of course the forum will show the \ - To make one, type \\. Pairing such as "]]" turns to "]" isn't very intuitive too. How do you type [[[these are brackets]]]?

I don't really know how those are / would be used

Even if you have <example> text with symbols []@$)*)%</example>, what if you needed to say <example> is how to escape characters?

i think i understand you. (sorry my eng. is horrible!) Wiki parkup has no < or > symbols in bbcode, so you could easily do this:
say [<pre>]</pre>] for (1) secs

oh yeah, please don't think i am mean. i have a feeling that you think i am mean? its just that my grandma died of a heartattack a few days ago and i cant think straight.

I don't think you're mean, I just forgot a period in the sentence.
