Masking of * Star not working in syntax highlighting.
See original GitHub issueHey,
I was confused by the syntax highlighting if using the * Star in inline code. The syntax highlighting prints the text between two of such inline code in bold, indicating the formatting from the * Star outside of inline code in pure text blocks:
Example 1:
This is a text block using a * with inline code formatting two times *.
Now all the text between the two stars is bold, although the formatting shouldn’t apply. Even masking the Star with two dollar signs doesn’t help:
Example 2:
This is a text block using a $$*$$ with inline code formatting two times $$*$$.

Thanks @mojavelinux for pointing this out. I looked into the docs and didn’t find it, and wasn’t sure if this is obsolete.
The next version will have an inspection that will show a warning if this is used, and will provide a quick-fix to rewrite it as passthrough with a plus (+) or as an inline pass macro.
Pre-release 0.37.18 is now available that includes this fix.
The pre-release of the plugin is available from GitHub releases and the IntelliJ AsciiDoc EAP repository.
