No wonder... it's a silly syntax. After Mercurial 1.3 I suggest we
look into using reStructuredText instead. Its syntax is indention
based (like a certain programming language we all know...) and this
makes it look much better, IMHO.

Benoit: your changes in face0d0540e6 and 012be286b2c4 gives me literal
backslashes in the HTML and man page output. So hgrc.5 now reads

  \*.rc files from a single directory [...]

I believe the problem is that the backticks escape their content, and
so the * does not need escaping. At least that's what I see with
asciidoc 8.4.5, freshly cloned from their Mercurial repository. Did
you use a different version?

I'm glad that I now had a change to learn a bit about asciidoc.
