Hi,

I came across the following today -- and was wondering if that would
be considered a bug and also if there are any workarounds (other than
a post-processing script).

Say, I have the following document:

A quote substitution test
=========================

Here is a text. ``Followed by a quote.''footnote:[Which has a footnote
at
the end.]

The document is using doubled-up single quotes ` and ', relying on
ASCIIDOC to generate the proper typographic quotation marks. Now, what
happens is not quite what I anticipated:


<div id="header">
<h1>A quote substitution test</h1>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="preamble">
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Here is a text. &#8216;`Followed by a
quote.&#8217;'<span class="footnote"><br />[Which has a footnote at
the end.]<br /></span></p></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

As you can see, one opening quote and one closing quote are being
replaced and one of each are left untouched. This is caused by the
fact that "footnote:" follows the closing quotes without a space. Of
course, I could put a space after the quotes, but that would then mean
that space is there in the generated output as well.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,
-Markus
