Incorrect wording. Please correct. #4330
Description
On the page: https://lesscss.org/features/#mixins-feature-mixins-parametric-feature
Line: "Note: As of Less 4.0, you can escape a list value using bracket escaping [~()]". Is misleading. Please remove the brackets or change the text to read: "As of Less 4.0, you can escape a list value by enclosing it in a tilde and brackets ~()".

Hi @Bahurtsev and Less.js maintainers,
The point raised here is valid. The current wording, “paren escape [ ~() ]”, can be misleading because the actual syntax uses a tilde followed by parentheses,
~(), rather than brackets.I’d be happy to fix this typo in the documentation. Here’s my proposed change:
Current:
“Note: As of Less 4.0, you can wrap a list value using a paren escape [ ~() ], e.g.
.name(@param1: ~(red, blue)).”Proposed:
“Note: As of Less 4.0, you can wrap a list value using a tilde and parentheses
~(), e.g..name(@param1: ~(red, blue)).”If this looks good, I’d be happy to open a PR in
less/less-docswith the fix.Thanks!
