Previously, when generating Asciidoctor snipppets, the title of the
path parameter table was interpolated. The title of the table is the
path including its parameters. The parameters are typically surrounded
by { and }. This is the same syntax used for attributes in
Asciidoctor. With interpolation enabled this caused Asciidoctor to
interpret the parameter as an attribute reference and attempt to
replace it. This would either result in unwanted replacement of the
parameter with the value of the attribute or it would result in a
warning about a missing attribute.
This commit surrounds the title of the table with + characters. This
disables all interpolation for the title, thereby preventing
unwanted replacement or attempted replacement of the path's
parameters.
Closes gh-527
Spring REST Docs 
Overview
The primary goal of this project is to make it easy to document RESTful services by combining content that's been hand-written using Asciidoctor with auto-generated examples produced with the Spring MVC Test framework. The result is intended to be an easy-to-read user guide, akin to GitHub's API documentation for example, rather than the fully automated, dense API documentation produced by tools like Swagger.
For a broader introduction see the Documenting RESTful APIs presentation. Both the slides and a video recording are available.
