Asterisk enclosing a letter - without space

ch007m
Hi,

The asterisk * symbol can be used to highlight word(s) with the <strong></strong> tag in HTML. Unfortunately, when it is used to highlight a letter an additional space is required otherwise asciidoctor will not parse the * symbol

example :

*L* etter --> <strong>L</strong> etter

*L*etter --> *L*etter

Is there a workaround ?

Regards,

Charles

Thx for the trick. I wasn't aware that the double asterisks was rendered as <raw><strong></strong></raw>.
