[Po4a-devel] parsing asciidoc styles

[Anders Nawroth]

Ah, the correct term for all of this is an AttributeList, see:
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#X21
Which then has very different uses ...

The question is if we shouldn't just support anything in there and
make everything between the [] a no-wrap string to be translated?
Maybe keeping some specific support for verse and quote et al which
may benefit from that.
It just seems quite hard to perfectly parse all the ways
AttributeLists can be used in AsciiDoc.
(we don't want to re-implement AsciiDoc, right! ;-)

Keeping the no-extra-arguments built-ins as non-translatable string,
just like now.

WDYT?
