square brackets in 1.8.2

The default wiki in 1.8.2 interprets square brackets as a new link. Is there a simple way to alter this behavior so that square brackets can be used textually in the wiki (i.e. is there a php config file somewhere that identifies the square brackets as the delimiter that we could change from [ to *[ or some such)?

Will Nwiki have the same behavior, and if so can modification of that behavior be added as a feature request in that quite a few tools for teaching math and science now employ square brackets.

I have been unable to escape the square brackets and use of <code> or <pre> seems to have no effect either.

Marc,

i use nwiki with the nwiki editor and i think you use tags like

<nowiki> some math equation </nowiki>

hope that helps. if not, i can look further. i've done it before somewhere within my wiki, if i could only remember ...

Your suggestins apparently do not work in ewiki.....

I have spoken to folks who have managed to figure out how to hack out the single square bracket, but they indicated it was not a trivial fix and they did not have access to what they had done, and in any case it would not survive upgrading.....
