With phpBB, we were able to define two variations of a tag depending on whether an option was given. For example:
Both the display of the contents and the URL link generated were different:
Refer to ls.
Refer to ls(1).
XenForo does BBCode differently, and this is the current definition we have for the HTML replacement:
This renders the parens even when the optional parameter is not given, and includes them in the links:
Refer to ls().
Refer to ls(1).
The first looks confusingly like a function call. What is the XenForo way to not include the extra characters when the optional parameter is not included?
Code:
Refer to [man]ls[/man].
Refer to [man=1]ls[/man].Both the display of the contents and the URL link generated were different:
Refer to ls.
Refer to ls(1).

Code:
<a target="_blank" title="A mysterious {text}({option}) manual page" href="https://www.example.org/cgi/man.cgi?query={text}&sektion={option}">{text}({option})</a>This renders the parens even when the optional parameter is not given, and includes them in the links:
