Hi, I'd say its a bug. What is happening is this: Asciidoc processes quotes in order and happens to process the ` ' pair before the ` ` pair. It removes the \ when looking for ` ' thus exposing the ` ` pair. The + is only ever part of one quotes pair so it doesn't have the problem. One solution is to leave the \es until all quotes are processed, then substitute them. This particular problem can occur when the user defines custom quotes as well so it can't just be special cased. Any better ideas Stuart?
