Description

On the page: https://lesscss.org/features/#mixins-feature-mixins-parametric-feature

Line: "Note: As of Less 4.0, you can escape a list value using bracket escaping [~()]". Is misleading. Please remove the brackets or change the text to read: "As of Less 4.0, you can escape a list value by enclosing it in a tilde and brackets ~()".
