Okay, but I was taking a look at html5.conf that comes with asciidoc, and
it doesn't seem to
have a macro for [literal-inlinemacro]. That or I missed where it is
defined.

I tried to create this [regex]`code here` stuff because I saw that it works
in asciidoctor. By the way,
I am using -f asciidoc_html.conf with asciidoc. Would it also work with
