Rather than uglifying all the documentation to work around the syntax,
perhaps we just want to disable subscripts and superscripts
altogether? I can't really imagine the git documentation needing
them.
To do so, we can add these lines to asciidoc.conf (I just did this on
another project yesterday, but I haven't tested in git.git):
[replacements]
# Disable superscripts.
\^(.+?)\^=^\1^
# Disable subscripts.
~(.+?)~=~\1~
(For reference, the regexes on the left side of the equal sign came
from a file in /etc/asciidoc somewhere.)
Have fun,
Avery
