In asciidoc single quotes need whitespace outside them (or a few allowed punctuations eg full stop), so they are less likely to be recognised in unwanted situations. Whilst unconstrained quotes can occur anywhere. > > I found that, in addition to the asciidoc tool, there is another tool, > asciidoctor.

Actually you didn't attach it. :) Asciidoc is the original implementation, asciidoctor is a new implementation. It fixes some of the implementation specific quirks of asciidoc and has some improvements, and is waaaaay faster :) but it also has a backward compatible mode where it is intended that it match the *specified* behaviour of asciidoc (but perhaps not some of the implementation specific quirks, of which quote substitution is one). IIUC the compatibility mode is invoked automatically if it recognises some specific features of the document or can be specified manually.
