It also doesn't make it clear enough, IMHO, how what we're doing here solves that problem. How about something like this? The second paragraph in the CONFIGURATION section intends to emphasize the word 'must' with bold type. It does so by writing it as *must*, and this works fine with AsciiDoc. It usually works great with Asciidoctor, too, but in this particular instance, we have another "*" earlier in the paragraph. We do escape it, and it is rendered literally just like we want it to, but Asciidoctor then ends up tripping on the second (or third) of the asterisks in this paragraph. Since that asterisk is (part of) a literal example, we can set it in monospace, by giving it as `*`. Adjust the whole paragraph in this way. There's lots more monospacing to be done in this document, but since our main motivation is addressing AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor discrepancies like this one, let's just convert this one paragraph. I think what's happening could be related to the fix in the first patch. There, it's ok to explicitly escape only the first '. The second one is matched to it and gets escaped implicitly. Something like that could be happening here, too, just that we don't want it to. (Should we escape the implicit escaping? ...) Just speculation, though. Martin
