escaping square brackets?

i’m trying to write something like this:



in a template, but it’s not showing up in the source code. i believe modx is trying to interpret [[0,0], [1,0]] as a snippet named: "0,0], [1,0" how can i escape the [ and ] characters so they are seen as literal text?

tried googling, but everything that came up with "modx escape" seemed to deal with escaping user input for database purposes. thanks you for any advice!

am able to bypass this for now, but just putting the javascript into an external file, but would still be interested to know if there’s a way to escape the [ ] characters. thanks.

Yes, this is a problem with the double brackets, and the easiest way to get around this for now, is to add spaces in between two successive brackets, e.g. this should work fine:

thank you very much, i didn’t think to try spacing out my brackets. i would have assumed that since javascript and other languages can read array syntax with spaces in it, that so could modx - though perhaps modx was purposely coded to not be able to read [ [ 1,0 ] ] for cases just as this one. again thank you.

I know it's veeery old post, but i'm wondering what about CDATA tags, which MUST use "]]>" at the end? It's closing ALL MODx tags (not only comments) which is highly adverse.

eg.:

In Revolution, you can do this:

[[-some content]]

MODX will consider that a comment and will strip the tag from the output.
