PDF Documentation Spring-Core 5.1.5: Occurrences of a STRONG tag, where we should see a bold font

Documentation Spring-Core 5.1.5 as PDF

There are code samples with a (written) <strong> tag, where we should see the code section with a bold font.

Examples:
Page 50: <strong>@RequestScope</strong>
Page 62: <strong>@SessionScope</strong>
and 29 more occurrences. Please use Ctrl+F.

@bclozel Could you have a look at this please? I suppose those tags were in actual effect at some point but got turned to literal text through some general formatting changes...

The root cause is the presence of asterisks within code blocks that were carried over from the Docbook days, and the PDF generator simply doesn't support that.

For example, the following:

		<bean class="example.SimpleMovieCatalog" **primary="true"**>
			<!-- inject any dependencies required by this bean -->
		</bean>

Gets converted to:

		<bean class="example.SimpleMovieCatalog" <strong>primary="true"</strong>>
			<!-- inject any dependencies required by this bean -->
		</bean>

So one solution (perhaps the only solution) is to simply remove all bold formatting (i.e., **xyz**) from all source code blocks throughout the Asciidoc files.

@bclozel, I'd be happy to take it over unless you want to. Just let me know...

@sbrannen, volunteering is always appreciated, so it's yours now :-)

I was just asking Brian since he did some recent doc formatting stuff for 5.2.
