-If the template is to be embedded within italicized text (<nowiki>'' quote ''</nowiki>), the way to make it display properly with the brackets non-italicized and the sic italicized is to add a parameter that just has <nowiki>''</nowiki> in it, or add <nowiki>''</nowiki> to the last parameter if two are already given, and place <nowiki>''</nowiki> after the template call. <!-- *That* sounds like a complex explanation I can see why (the inclusion of the pre-[sic] param(s), so that "<i>...italics FRAG-MENTS</i> [<i>Sic</i>]<i> more-itals</i> flips out-and-in/in-and-out accordingly) but it perhaps looks like far more trouble than it is worth, as currently suggested it be used. -->

-<!-- But, expanding upon that 'unitalicising' need, had you considered something a bit more non-user-dependent? Try the following out, in 'open Preview':

-   '''''This is some <span style="font-style: normal">normal</span> text...'''''
+<code><nowiki>{{asic|nolink=y}}</nowiki></code><br/>
-Notice, when you try it, that it 'de-italicises' an external section of bold+italicised text but doesn't unbold (unless you also add "font-weight: normal", I think), and also wouldn't de-underline/de-overline/de-strikethrough without "text-decoration: none", nor de-colour/de-funnyFont/etc without all *other* aspects being disabled...
+<code><nowiki>{{asic|hide=y}}</nowiki></code><br/>
-But, as you're primarily concerned with "''within a quote''" scenarios, maybe it'll be good enough to just "<span {back to some subset of 'normal' styling}>[''sic'']</span>" (not tested it, myself, but I suspect it *should* work as required, regardless of containing markup blocks) and (apart from tidying up now unnecessary 'explicit exterior de-italicisings') just let it sort itself out under ''most'' circumstances that you're going to have to work with... --->
