We do not want to rely on an external party indefinitely maintaining what they consider backward compatibility wart, so the mark-up migration would need to happen before it becomes too late. > This would have the added benefit of differentiating single quotes from > backticks, because single quotes would completely disappear in the end, except > when a real single quote is needed. Given enough time, yes. Or we can actively disable AsciiDoctor's compatibility mode and/or tweak asciidoc.conf to do the equivalent for AsciiDoc, to start early. Until then, we cannot really use "a real single quote", right? > For the migration to "standard" asciidoc, I would also recommend using "=" > prefix for titles instead of underlines which require changing two lines when > modifying a title and are a pain for translators in languages with variable > width characters. I personally strongly prefer the underline format because I care about readability of sources, but that is just me. Is that also getting deprecated? Thanks.
