### Bug description

Hello, 
I use R code to produce regression summary tables that include asterisks (`*`, `**`, or `***`). For html outputs, some asterisks disappear and some italics and bold section appear. It seems to be a confusion in quarto between markdow and html in this case.

Please find below a reproducible example. Github doesn't allow for *.qmd files, so I had to rename the extension to *.txt:
[reprex_bug_quarto_asterisk_qmd.txt](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/files/10116808/reprex_bug_quarto_asterisk_qmd.txt)

My RStudio version is `2022.07.2 Build 576` (Spotted Wakerobin)
It is running on Windows 11 (I get the same issue on Ubuntu).
