I'm formatting someone else's science fiction novel for the Kindle (using HTML).
One of the characters has a very alien, simultaneous, fractal thought process, written as nested phrases enclosed in curly braces ({}) and square brackets ([]).
While [] and {} don't mess up HTML (which uses angled brackets, <>), I am a little concerned about them because of their use in programming.
Would it be better to replace the braces and brackets with their equivalent HTML codes (i.e. [ for [ and so on)? Or am I being too fussy?
Edit: Whoops -- my HTML code got replaced with a [ . Well, it started with a & and ended with a ; and was a number beginning with a #.
