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.
