Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Asymmetric symbols not specified correctly

Solution: For [word], you need different before ([) and after (]) symbols. Ensure tool supports asymmetric wrapping.

⚠️

Symbols breaking markup

Solution: Adding * around words in Markdown that already has * can break formatting. Check context first.

⚠️

Special characters need escaping

Solution: Symbols like $ or * have special meaning in regex/programming. May need \ escaping in some contexts.
