Adding another substitution won't help. Let me spell it out, if you had another quotes substitution: 1. you can't transform your special quotes into normal quotes since that would require you to escape all other occurrences of the quotes character. If you need to do that then you might just as well use normal quotes. 2. Since you can't do 1. you have to directly generate backend markup. The markup for your special quotes will still have to be defined for each backend, by putting each alternate markup in ifdef:: tests. 3. You can already do exactly the same using replacements3, wrap an alternative replacement definition in an ifdef:: that depends on the backend. So there is no improvement, either in terms of the input or the effort to define your custom configuration. The custom asciidoc.conf for html (using ~~ as the custom quotes, change as needed) would be: [replacements3] ifdef::basebackend-html[] ~~(\w+)~~=<em>\1</em> endif::basebackend-html[] I would recommend against using non-ascii characters for the quotes delimiters since Asciidoc is a Python 2 program, and as such Unicode regular expression handling is not totally consistent.
