My goal

I am trying to submit a fix to the Filebeat documentation, written in asciidoc.

Source

Currently it is not possible to recursively fetch all files in all subdirectories of a directory. However, the /** pattern can be used to fetch all files from a predefined level of subdirectories. For example, /var/log/**/*.log and /var/log/**/**/*.log fetch all .log files from the subdirectories and sub-subdirectories of /var/log, respectively. Note that neither fetch log files from the /var/log folder itself.

Result

From asciidoclive.com:

My problem

The /** becomes / in the output, and the words after it are unintentionally marked in bold.

My question

How do I properly escape /** in asciidoc?
