    Printing square brackets

    Because [ and ] are special characters, if you want to output them in the NC code, you must enter them as <91> and <93> respectively.

    Note: Backward compatibility: when you open an existing CNC file that was created prior to the brackets being made special characters in XBUILD, those brackets are automatically converted to <91> and <93>.
