Problem with emphasis when converting directly from markdown to pdf

[PeterHero]

First of all I'd like to thank you for your time and effort you have put in the tool. It stands out among the many, because it is not bloated as some other, but simply converts html or md to pdf.

I encountered incorrect formatting of emphasized or italic text when converting md file to pdf: htmldoc --webpage -f foo.pdf foo.md

When used with html in the middle it works as expected: htmldoc --webpage foo.md | htmldoc --webpage -f foo.pdf -

Can you attach a sample markdown file that shows this? Also, what version of HTMLDOC are you using?

foo.md:

test *test* **test**

version:

$ htmldoc --version
1.9.17
