the start of a line and got a bullet point by mistake.
I've seen people writing like that, and a conforming client (IMHO)
should consider those lines items.
This is not true. A space after "*" is required.
Lines beginning with "* " are unordered list items. This line type existspurely for stylistic reasons. The * may be replaced in advanced clients bya bullet symbol. Any text after the "* " should be presented to the user asif it were a text line, i.e. wrapped to fit the viewport and formatted"nicely". Advanced clients can take the space of the bullet symbol intoaccount when wrapping long list items to ensure that all lines of textcorresponding to the item are offset an equal distance from the edge ofthe screen.
