 * Every time I use brackets or parentheses in my posts [with **to-be-hovered-word**
   in the brackets/parentheses], Hover does not highlight/explain the word unless
   I put an extra parenthesis before or after the word.
    Let me explain: let **x**
   be **the word**. Then, [ x ] is hovered whereas [x] isn’t.
