Just found a brief formatting guide that say you put exactly one space after the first asterisk. asterisk space stuff in between asterisk.<p>Let&#x27;s try it: * no italics*<p>EDIT: Ok, space is visible after first and second one disappears. Now I want to know what the commenter is doing too lol.<p>EDIT 2: The closing asterisk reappeared after I added text after it. Stranger.
