Folder superscript bug

I believe I've found a bug in the Wiki software. Is this the right place to report it?

Specifically: If you try to make part of a folder title superscript, it instead cuts off the part of the title after the superscript. The rest of the folder title is in the folder itself, still superscripted.

For instance, if you enter "[folder:A[superscript:B]C]" (with the square brackets doubled, of course) into the wiki sandbox, you get a folder titled "A<sup>B</sup>", with "<sup>C</sup>" being the first entry in the folder's content area.

Looking at the generated HTML, it looks like the first set of closing square brackets closes the folder, rather than the superscript. The second closing square brackets then close the superscript.

Am I making any sense?

Yes. Nesting in general doesn't work very well here for some reason.

I would actually report bugs to the Tech Wish List.

And, yes, all nesting had to be pretty much specifically factored in. It has been for a lot of things, but it doesn't surprise me that this isn't one of them.
