Ok; backslashes doesn't work

Alan, I can see what you presumably typed - \[Test\], so Google didn't
delete the square brackets. *It might do if you tried [\Test\].

If you wish to try, you would keep jochta happy by using alt.test, but imho
the subject is of interest to quite a few usw posters.

I don't mind that much! I was just pointing to alt.test as some people
don't know about it and he might find it easier to try lots of different
things in there.

No worries, I've been trying in alt.test.ignore to no avail I give
up!!

[Test]
on its own works but

[WR] Outer Mongolia
doesn't, it removes all the [WR]

[Test]
Gives you exactly that, so it's not converting HTML codes


[\Test\]
Gives you exactly that with the back slashes
