   The "backslash-escape" method of rendering a literal asterisk resulted 
confusing documentation since the backslash sometimes got rendered, and 
sometimes didn't. Using literal asterisk of course ran into the risk of 
rendering bolded text and no asterisks. 
   
   By replacing the literal asterisks with the attributes '{asterisk}' and 
letting asciidoctor render an asterisk the generated documentation should be 
clearer.
   
   Example of the documentation currently live in the user guide (with 
confusing rendering of backslashes):
   
   ----------
   wildcard character “*” is supported as placeholder for zero or more 
characters. For example pattern “+\*.mp4” adds all the mp4 files inside all 
directories.
   
   subdirectories are supported as well. For example pattern “+documents/*.pdf” 
adds all pdf files under “documents” directory. Character “\*” can be used with 
directories to specify a nesting level. For example “+documents/*/\*.pdf” adds 
all pdf files placed one level below “documents” directory.
   
   a double wildcard character “*\*” indicates zero or more subdirectories. For 
example pattern “+documents/*\*/\*.pdf” adds all pdf files placed inside 
“documents” directory or inside any of its subdirectories.
