quotes substitution within verse blocks

[cristoper]

The user manual says, "The quotes substitution occurs on formatted text within title, paragraph, example, quote, sidebar, and verse blocks." So I'd expect the strong quotes in this asciidoc snippet to be substituted to <strong> tags:

[verse]
And when I was ten *you murdered law with courtroom politics,*
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth;
But I know you better now and I don't fall for all your tricks,
And you've lost the one advantage of my youth.

However, running "asciidoctor -b html5 -s" on the above produces this output (version 0.1.4):

<div class="verseblock">
<pre class="content">And when I was ten *you murdered law with courtroom politics,*
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth;
But I know you better now and I don't fall for all your tricks,
And you've lost the one advantage of my youth.</pre>

(Note the * quotes have not been converted to STRONG tags.)

Setting [subs="normal"] causes the quoted text to be expanded properly, but I'd rather have quotes substituted by default than have to modify all of my verse blocks

Running the python asciidoc on the same input results in the expected output:

<div class="verseblock">
<pre class="content">And when I was ten <strong>you murdered law with courtroom politics,</strong>
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth;
But I know you better now and I don&#8217;t fall for all your tricks,
And you&#8217;ve lost the one advantage of my youth.</pre>
<div class="attribution">
</div></div>

This problem is already fixed as of 1.5.0.preview.6. I'll give you an opportunity to try this with the latest Asciidoctor release. I'll close the issue once you confirm it's fixed for your use case.

To get the latest Asciidoctor release, run:

$ gem install asciidoctor --pre

Thank you, mojavelinux. I can confirm that this works as expected with 1.5.0.preview.6, so you may close this issue. In the future I'll be more diligent about testing with the latest gem/git version before opening spurious issues!

Don't be too hard on yourself about the duplicate. This is mostly on us for
letting the 1.5.0 release linger so much. In the future we'll be releasing
more rapidly.
