Description

In 112-01-28 I've stumbled upon puzzling double square brackets, that is `[[` and `]]`.

Concept definition in the spreadsheet contains following line:

```
In the first case, the value of a quantity Q is generally denoted {Q}[[Q]] where {Q} is the numerical value and [[Q]] is the unit of measurement.
```

However, the source code of original Electropedia page (https://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&ievref=112-01-28) has single brackets:

```
In the first case, the value of a quantity Q is generally denoted {Q}[Q] where {Q} is the numerical value and [Q] is the unit of measurement.
```

@ronaldtse What do these double square brackets mean and how to represent them in AsciiMath?
