HTML commands inside LaTeX code

[jim mcnamara]

@Charles Link was answering a question but ran into a latex issue - an HTML-like command inside latex did not seem to work: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/equilibrium-constant.956429/#post-6064045
see post #2.

What is the correct way to handle this?

I usually use [ B] (add space after opening bracket).

In the past it was possible to use noparse tags, but at some point they stopped to work.

We have [plain] instead of noparse now.
[itex[/color]][A][plain][B][/plain][C][/itex] -> $[A]<span class="bbPlain">[B]</span>[C]$
