Asteriks * within Word interpreted as italic #496

Open fabianwohlfart opened 2 years ago

Describe the bug Asterisks inside of words are mainly used for gender-inclusive writing in German. A word like Mechanikerin is interpreted as italic.

To Reproduce Type Mechaniker*in

Expected behavior Asteriks inside words are not interpreted. They either have to be at the beginning of a line, or after a Space to be the start of an italic word or phrase.

A lone * being interpreted as italics does not seem to be standard markdown behaviour, I agree that should be fixed.
