Triangular, round and square brackets have been used as follows:

Triangular To show generic items, and special keys. For example:

<list of integers> <filename> <data component>

<return> <control Z> <escape>

Round To show optional items during input, for example:

<command> (<optional command>) (<optional number>)

And also to show defaults when the computer prompts you, eg:

Give new value (10) :

Give model number (12) :

Square To show advisory information at computer prompts, eg:

Give filename: [.key] :

PRIMER_MANAGER >>> [H for Help] :

Also to show implicit commands, eg:

[ORIENT] TRANSLATE <entity> <number of values>
