Square Brackets Intended for Display Not Rendering in Neovim Normal Mode

[rbrinson]

I'm having a problem with marksman not rendering square brackets that are just part of the text to be displayed in neovim normal mode. I also have the obsidian neovim plugin, but I turned off its UI rendering to allow marksman to handle displaying markdown. If I navigate to the line that the square brackets are on or I enter insert mode, the square brackets are rendered. Otherwise, marksman does not display them. The use case is monster stat blocks for a RPG. The RPG uses THAC0 by default but has the option to use ascending AC. The THAC0 score is displayed first followed by the ascending AC in square brackets. Below are screenshots showing the output of marksman in neovim. Escaping the square brackets does cause the square brackets to render. However, it also renders the backslash. Is this a bug, or do I need to further configure mason, marksman, neovim? Thank you for any insights!
