--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Given following HMTL code which includes the ''\['' and ''\]'' Latex
 delimiters:

 {{{
 \[<\] <strong>We</strong>
 }}}

 the output of '''force_balance_tags''' is

 {{{
 \[<\] <strong>We
 }}}

 which is not correct as the bold tags are unbalanced. Expected output
 should be the input string.
