I was posting a section of the CR into a post and the mana tags really didn't like it. The text in question was:

"305.6. The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. If an object uses the words "basic land type," it's referring to one of these subtypes. A land with a basic land type has the intrinsic ability "{T}: Add [mana symbol]," even if the text box doesn't actually contain that text or the object has no text box. For Plains, [mana symbol] is {W}; for Islands, {U}; for Swamps, {B}; for Mountains, {R}; and for Forests, {G}. See rule 107.4a. See also rule 605, "Mana Abilities."

If I just paste it without the noparse tags, it looks like the below. It looks like it is the fact that it says [mana symbol] which then causes the rest of the text to be parsed as though it had those symbols. If I remove the word "mana" from both locations, it comes out correctly. Not sure there is a good fix for this but I did find it somewhat odd that it tried to parse them without a closing tag (and it included more than just the word "mana" in the "tag"):

305.6. The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. If an object uses the words "basic land type," it's referring to one of these subtypes.

Because we used advanced tags, with parameters, [Mana anything here] is interpreted as a Mana tag with a bad parameter that's ignored.

You'll have to noparse it.
To the beaten, the broken, or the damned; the lost, and the wayward: wherever I may be, you will have a home.
