Aha -- I think you edited it with the content-editor.

This is actually a known bug in the content editor part, as it runs a
hash list and will replace those. I thought it had been fixed; but it
appears not. My understanding was that you could replace [quantity-
name] with [item-quantity-name], etc., but looking at the code it may
not be fixed.

My personal fix is never to use the content-editor; in fact it is
not in the menus with the latest version.
