Hi Dan,
Thank you for your detailed response. Unfortunately, using the + doesn't
seem to work (it just shows up as a literal +). Using backticks with the
.conf file that you showed also doesn't solve the problem (the backticks
show up as literals). The backticked text is not getting placed in *any*
tag, not even a <span> .
And I get the problem whether I build to xhtml11 or html5.
I'm using the following build commands:
asciidoc -b html5 -a toc book.asciidoc
or
asciidoc -dbook -a toc book.txt
Any idea where the problem may lie?
