How to use [ and ] characters in cells ?

[quantumsheep]

style_parser.go implements a special feature where [ and ] characters are used to separate styled text.

termui/style_parser.go

Lines 19 to 20 in f976fe6

	tokenBeginStyledText = '['
	tokenEndStyledText = ']'

termui/style_parser.go

Lines 105 to 112 in f976fe6

	case parserStateDefault:
	if _rune == tokenBeginStyledText {
	state = parserStateStyledText
	squareCount = 1
	styledText = append(styledText, _rune)
	} else {
	cells = append(cells, Cell{_rune, defaultStyle})
	}

Which ends up cropping the text:

Is there a way to disable this feature without having to edit the code ?

+1 for this. Maybe we should make \[ escape the significance of the [ character.

Ok I finally have a solution! Made a PR #321 and there is no need to \ to escape. I made the logic look for ]( i.e. you have to have a ( to start the style after the ending ] or it will ignore [ and ].
