Ok, well, all I can say is that it works for me, no alltt error, and I am sure I didn't (knowingly) install extra latex packages because I don't know how to. Perhaps I'm just lucky and something else installed it for me. :) > > Try this: open a text file and fill it with: > > = Title > > *C+\+* or *C+\+* or *C+\+* or *C+\+* > > then compile to pdf (that was related to another post I made here in this > list that seems correlated to this problem)... > > I found the behaviour of asciidoc in this context really weird, but it is > consistent with the html output... > > Try to do the same with asciidoctor and the result is worst... > > To obtain a correct test you have to write: > > asciidoc: *C+\+* or *C+\+* or *C+\+* or *C++* To be considered as quotes the ++ needs to have a matching "closing" ++, but the last one on the line does not have that, so it does not need an escape.

It is because of these little implementation specific glitches that there will hopefully be an effort this year to define an implementation independent asciidoc markup specification. @Dan, hows that looking?
