BB code help

[Westcoast Sheri]

Is there a way to escape a "bracket" in BB code? The beginning of a bbcode
post I made starts with something in brackets [like this]. This causes a
strange thing to happen to the remainder of my post. Removing the brackets
makes my post normal. That shows me that I need to escape the brackets.
However, a simple backslash does not seem to do the trick i.e. this \[wont
work\]

I am not the administrator of the bb forum, just a poster. So I need to know
what to do on my end (as opposed to an adiministrator's power to
reconfigure, etc.

Thank you.

I'm assuming that you're trying to make a post that shows other people
how to use certain BBcode tags?
