C++ Highlight Brace issue

I'm not sure what else would cause an issue, but when you use a [ in the highlight=C++ tag, it converts it as shown below.

c++ Code:

char str [LINE_LENGTH];

If you put two in a row, it only seems to catch the first, though. It also seems to omit it if you put it in a comment

c++ Code:

//char str [LINE_LENGTH];

Which highlight code is causing problems the first or second example?

The first one is converting [ to &#91 (with a semi colon at the end, but the forums keeps converting it on me), whereas the second one with the comment, displays it correctly.

That's the HIGHLIGHT tag itself converting it. Try it with C# too. Same thing will happen.

I believe this issue was posted before and admins/mods are aware of this.

highlight in code tags:

Code:

---

       

c++ Code:

       

char str [LINE_LENGTH];

---

code in highlight tags:

c++ Code:

[code]
    char str [LINE_LENGTH];
[/code]

Edit:

It doesn't help if you wrap the whole thing in code tags either highlight tags inside code tags or the other way around.
