[pve-devel] [PATCH v3 common 1/1] REST handler: get property description: escape curly braces for asciidoc

[Fabian Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

Text enclosed in unescaped curly braces will be interpreted as an
attribute reference breaking and e.g. lead to the description not
showing up at all a generated man page further down the line.

New in v3.

Tried out various uses of curly braces and seems to work for man
pages, HTML doc and API-viewer.
