In 112-01-28 I've stumbled upon puzzling double square brackets, that is [[ and ]].

Concept definition in the spreadsheet contains following line:

In the first case, the value of a quantity <i>Q</i> is generally denoted {<i>Q</i>}[[<i>Q</i>]] where {<i>Q</i>} is the numerical value and [[<i>Q</i>]] is the unit of measurement.

However, the source code of original Electropedia page (https://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&ievref=112-01-28) has single brackets:

In the first case, the value of a quantity <i>Q</i> is generally denoted {<i>Q</i>}[<i>Q</i>] where {<i>Q</i>} is the numerical value and [<i>Q</i>] is the unit of measurement.

@ronaldtse What do these double square brackets mean and how to represent them in AsciiMath?

The export we have is the actual database content. I imagine that the double brackets turned single probably because the doubling was an escape mechanism in Lotus Notes/Domino (the current system).

I will seek clarification but probably this is an unnecessary artifact.

Sounds legit. Same situation in regular text content.

space defined by the state variables as axes of a vector space [[<a href=IEV102-03-01>102-03-01</a>]], in which every vector represents a state of the system

We probably need to unescape them for all the content.
