Is it possible to add brackets to a template title? For example, I have a template that adds the date and event title - I’d like to have the date precede the title and be in brackets, like [9/6/22] however the best I can do when using \event-date(start: MM/dd/yy) is [ 9/6/22 ](note the spaces around the date) as when I put the brackets with no spaces, I get [\event-date(start: MM/dd/yy)] not [9/6/22] as intended. Is there a way to join the brackets to the formatted date without spaces?
Any help is appreciated!
