Re: [PATCH] git-show-ref: fix escaping in asciidoc source

36 [2]. How can I escape AsciiDoc markup?

Most AsciiDoc inline elements can be suppressed by preceding them with a
backslash character.  These elements include: [...] But there are
exceptions — see the next question.

Note Escaping is unnecessary inside inline literal passthroughs
(backtick quoted text).

Beware!  We actively change the inline literal quoting behaviour to
ensure consistent output with different versions of asciidoc.  See
this commit:

    Disable asciidoc 8.4.1+ semantics for `{plus}` and friends
    
    asciidoc 8.4.1 changed the semantics of inline backtick quoting so
    that they disable parsing of inline constructs, i.e.,
    
      Input:	`{plus}`
      Pre 8.4.1:	+
      Post 8.4.1:	{plus}
    
    Fix this by defining the asciidoc attribute 'no-inline-literal'
    (which, per the 8.4.1 changelog, is the toggle to return to the old
    behaviour) when under ASCIIDOC8.
