   I'm trying to write a caption that contains square brackets, e.g.

   [caption id="attachment_3735" align="alignleft" width="640" caption="Content containing [square brackets]"]<img.... />[/caption]

   WordPress reaches the ] after brackets and treats it as the closing ] of the tag, leaving a floating "] in the code.

   Any ideas?

   Not sure exactly what the short code filter is applying, but you could try escaping the brackets with a slash.

   so:
   \[square brackets\]

   Like I said I didn't look at that filter though, so I'm not sure that would work.
