Brackets [ ] in uses
Use brackets to enclose additions to quoted material. These additions, made by editors or writers, usually clarify or comment on the material.
Example:
- Mark Twain said it [the river] taught him all he ever knew about life.
- Virginia Woolf lived with him [Lytton Strachey] while recovering from her illness.
- There were few Esquimouxs [sic] living in the region we explored.
NOTE: Brackets are also used to enclose material that falls within material already enclosed by parentheses.
Example: The fall sales records are encouraging (see page 33, Monthly Sales [Table 2.1] for a detailed breakdown by product line).
