Description

brought to light in #3778 but closed as 'duplicate' of #5482. #5482 was closed, 'fixed', but that fixed a different problem (square braces in attributes)

the example of the issue given in #3778 still fails today, 5 years on:

example tested in firefox/chromium, and escape chars don't work here
