Bruce,
In this case, what you are looking for is called "unconstrained" quoted
text (in AsciiDoc, "quoted text" is just a way of saying "formatted text").
Unconstrained quotes may appear anywhere in the text, such as around a
segment of a word. They typically consist of two characters.
Here's how you would use unconstrained quotes to get the monospace
formatting you need:
++Int++s
That will output:
<code>Int</code>s
You'll notice that I used pluses instead of backticks here. Unless the
formatted content needs to be escaped from AsciiDoc substitutions, it's
best to use pluses for monospaced text. Backticks work by taking the
content out of the flow of the text while the text is processed, then
reinserting the text back in at the placeholder positions. The pluses
merely wrap monospace tags (e.g., <code>) around the text (in the same way
the * wraps the text in <strong> and _ wraps the text in <em>).
If you do need to escape the text (for instance if it contains something
that looks like an attribute reference), using double backticks won't work.
Instead, you need to use the double dollar (escaped text without applying
special formatting to the result) combined with the unconstrained monospace
quotes:
++$${Int}$$++s
Which would output:
<code>{Int}</code>s
But, those situations are pretty rare :)
