Suggestion - no line breaks with brackets

When we use square brackets to convert latin alphabet text into dragon runes, the result gets automatically pushed to a new line. I wish for this feature to be removed, if possible. It does help the runes stand out from their surroundings, but it also breaks the format of the text, and sometimes I would really like to have some runes fit in the middle of a flowing sentence.

Besides, punctuation is reliably messed up by the new paragraph. If I wanted to say that "Hello in Dovahzul is

DREM YOL LOK
", that jarring line break would be there to stay.

If this is necessary for a technical reason, please enlighten me.

It does that for a technical reason. There are a few bugs and quirks with the brackets that I need to address, so consider line-breaking added to that list.

Not to bring up an old thread or anything, but remember the source editor!

Instead of bracks, open up the source editor and add

<span style=font-family:dragonscript" title="add your text in the latin alphabet here">text from the transcriber here</span>

This allows for inline text in the dov4zul script, and complete with a transliteration on hover.

So I can say {Drem yol lok} and it would work?
