 In the editor, wrapping square brackets around an anchor with a URL that
 contains square brackets, like so

 {{{
 [photos by <a
 href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42936748&amp;ref=sr_gallery_7&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=keep+calm+and+carry+on&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=13&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title">KeepCalmPosters</a>
 ]
 }}}

 converts the last double prime in the href attribute to the character code
 for the right double quotation mark, like so

 {{{

 href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42936748&amp;ref=sr_gallery_7&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=keep+calm+and+carry+on&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=13&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title&#8221;>KeepCalmPosters</a>
 ]
 }}}
