you’d normally use square braces [for this kind of thing]
1 comments

Square braces are used to show you are editing a quote for grammar or brevity, not to change the meaning of your own sentence. Ex:

> I love this [...] use of parentheses. [Rules] can be just as powerful when violated as when upheld.

you can also use it in place of commas.
