hgrc.5: fix quoting of literal strings The quotes would go wrong in many places due to differences between asciidoc version 8.2.7 used by Benoit and 8.4.5 used by me. Between those versions asciidoc stopped interpreting the content of `quoted strings`, and so `*` would start bold text in the old version, but do nothing in the new version. To complicate things further, `\*` would escape the bold tag in the old version, but in the new version the backslash was inserted literally into the output (because the backtick quotes it). I've now replaced backticks with non-quoting plusses and escaped backslashes as appropriate.

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which
is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also
convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man
page format and HTML.

To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC:

http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

To generate the man page:

asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt
xmlto man hg.1.xml

To display:

groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more

To create the html page (without stylesheets):

asciidoc -b html4 hg.1.txt

(older asciidoc may want html instead of html4 above)
