Originally reported by @pbokoc:
Docscii generates some weird asciidoc when it encounters a <replaceable> inside another inline tag (<command> and similar). For example, this:
<replaceable>
<command>
<option>inst.repo=hd:<replaceable>device</replaceable>:/<replaceable>path</replaceable></option>
currently converts into this:
[option]`inst.repo=hd:pass:attributes[{blank}]_device_:/pass:attributes[{blank}]_path_pass:attributes[{blank}]`
Surely there's a less insane way to render a part of a word in italics... right?
Also this is likely to happen with more than just <replaceable>s - it's just that replaceable is probably the inline tag that is most commonly used within other inline tags.

Found a similar problem with a <literal>:
<literal>
DocBook:
"<literal>=</literal>"
Converted ADoc:
"pass:attributes[{blank}]`=`pass:attributes[{blank}]"
I'll figure out if there's a way to do this nicer.
Ok, here's what happens: the whole pass:attributes[{blank}] is not required as long as you:
pass:attributes[{blank}]
double the inner markup symbols. The example docbook from the original comment should look like this:
[option]`inst.repo=hd:__device__:/__path__`
The example in comment 2 seems to work just fine without the whole blank thing.
We're going to need a check for the [ and ] characters inside other inline markup (asterisks, underscores), it needs to be escaped properly with a backslash. However, it must not be escaped inside a screen (----).
