You can't use templates in link values. Maybe will be able to in 1.7.

I assume that should 'close bracket'. When reporting problems, can you
let me know if you're using 1.6, it makes quite a difference.

I missed out this case when fixing square bracket handling for 1.6, so
it didn't count for the '[' before 'id' (i.e. parsed it as '[link
\[id]', so the square bracket that should have closed the element
doesn't match an open bracket. I'll fix this on the quickbook-dev
branch and add a more helpful error message.
