**This filter is designed to Wrap IPv6 addresses in [ ] brackets.**

   :local:
   :depth: 1

--------
- Some configuration files require IPv6 addresses to be "wrapped" in square brackets ([ ]).To accomplish that,
- you can use the ipwrap() filter.It will wrap all IPv6 addresses and leave any other strings intact.

            ipwrap() did not filter out non-IP address values, which is usually what you want when for example
            you are mixing IP addresses with hostnames. If you still want to filter out all non-IP address values,
            you can chain both filters together.
