Unclosed Inline Footnote

An inline footnote opens with
^[ but the closing ] does not appear before the end of the block.
Q-2-26 — Unclosed Inline Footnote
An inline footnote opens with
^[but the closing]does not appear before the end of the block.
What this means
Pandoc-style inline footnotes attach a parenthetical aside to the
text by wrapping the body in ^[ ... ]. The opener ^[ must be
balanced by a matching ] inside the same block. This error
fires when the closing bracket never appears.
Why this happens
The closing bracket was deleted, or a literal ^[ was read as
an inline-footnote opener.
How to fix
Complete the footnote with a ] at the intended end, or escape
the opener so the parser treats it as plain text:
The caret \^[is literal here].
