[GitHub] [wicket] haster opened a new pull request #446: Replace literal asterisk by asterisk attribute

haster opened a new pull request #446:
URL: https://github.com/apache/wicket/pull/446


   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.
