asciidoc 8

I ran into the asciidoc 8 issue where some of the docs don't get generated properly on my system with asciidoc 8.2.1.

Should I just downgrade? What would be the "best" version to use.

I ran into problems with 8 a while ago, poked around for a while, couldn't find the cause of the problem, and so downgraded to the 7 series (don't recall the exact version, but it was the last release in the 7 series). I figured this was just the simplest thing to do seeing as the official manual page archives are generated with 7, as far as I know.

I know that later a fix for the breakage that I was seeing was checked in (see 5162e69), so in theory 8 should be fine now (at least, the latest version of it, but I see you're using an older version which probably isn't affected by the link problem). What problem are you seeing? What version of Git are you using?

I'm seeing the missing "+" problem which, after reading INSTALL, was fixed by adding ASCIIDOC8=YesPlease to my command line. But after doing that I was still seeing .ft C like this:

.ft C
URL: one of the above URL format
Push: <refspec>
Pull: <refspec>

.ft

where "<pre>" blocks in the html documentation show up. I was first seeing the problems with git 1.5.4 and then yesterday built 1.5.4.2 and still have the above problem.
