Description & Comments:
I'm using fossil to store and serve documentation that I create from LaTeX or other HTML generators and running into a few logic bugs. In this case, if I set the wiki system to be HTML only, then that means verbatim and nowiki tags don't work. However, if the .wiki files or wiki pages have link syntax accidentally from say code snippets, like
[1,2,3,4]
then it tries to interpret that as wiki links.

However, since I am in HTML mode and the <verbatim> tag's disabled, I can't prevent this. Now I'm stuck.

The "Use-HTML-Wiki" flag (which is a user-contributed feature and not part of the maintained Fossil design) was specifically engineered to accept hyperlinks in [...] in addition to HTML.

For pure HTML with no interpretation at all, please consider using embedded documentation with files ending in ".html". Such files are delivered to the browser as-is, with a test/html mimetype, and can thus contain whatever HTML you desire.
