Literal commas where commas are delimiters

[shiffman]

question for @runemadsen

I am working on NOC issue nature-of-code/noc-book#24

I have everything working, but have a small issue.

ASCIIDOC quote syntax is:

[quote, cite author]

What I need to do is something like:

[quote, Fred, Frank, and Francine]

This doesn't work b/c the commas are treated as delimiters. I've tried passthroughs, escaping, etc. Is the solution:

[quote, "Fred, Frank, and Francine"]

This throws some errors at the moment.

[shiffman]

This, by the way, is not urgent as for now I'll probably just pass-through block the entire blockquote, which is easy enough.

[runemadsen]

Weird. The quotes should work.

Let me give it a try and see if I can fix it.

There are only three quotes and I ended up using pass-throughs where necessary so this is a very minor problem at this point.

Another workaround would be to use the html escape code for a comma: , which I just tried and works with the PDF.

But still, weird.
