Highlighting within XML code block

Hi all,

I want to highlight (bold, italic) some parts of XML code blocks.

I'm still very new to AsciiDoc, so I may be using the wrong approach to do so, but what I did is using a [literal,subs="verbatim,quotes"] block as described in GitHub Issue 91. In general that works.

Problems arise if the the to be highlighted part is immediately following a ">" or ":". Please see the attached PDF (custom_sustitutions.pdf) for the AsciiDoc source I am using and it's outputs.

Thanks in advance for you help.

You'll likely need to use the double asterisk (bold) or double underscore (italic) form. Does that work for you?
