[New-bugs-announce] [issue43266] "String conversion and formatting" formatting messes up array subscripting

[Erlend Egeberg Aasland]

New submission from Erlend Egeberg Aasland <erlend.aasland at innova.no>:

str[size-1] is rendered incorrectly in https://docs.python.org/3.10/c-api/conversion.html

The original intent was probably to apply italics to the variables names only. This can be fixed by prefixing the first bracket with a backslash. However, that results in the italic text crashing with the bracket. I suggest to just use ``str[size-1]``.

Also applies to str[rv] in the same section.
