Forgive the confusion of old, but I do not understand your problem.  I just 
tried the following markup:

[= %red%
 %green% =] And is this text red or green? No, it remains black, since the two 
markups are in special "code killing" brackets.

And got the following result:

%red% %green% And is this text red or green? No, it remains black, since the 
two markups are in special "code killing" brackets. 

The above seems to indicate that [= xxx =] works ok.  

BTW, I could not stop ~~~~ completely by putting it in brackets thus: 
[=~~~~=]
This seems to get partly parsed on the first parsing of the page.  It becomes 
difficult to show how to use ~~~~ to the end users.

I hope to miss having to go to the corner again...
