Material can not deal with cpp pointer sign * in markdown environment which means italic

[Daniel-UCAS]

Example code
`

const Foam::surfaceScalarField&
Foam::surfaceInterpolation::weights() const
{
    if (!weights_)
    {
        makeWeights();
    }

    return (*weights_);
}

`
The following * after weights_ will make contents after it italic

return (*weights_);

This seems to be a common problem, just see
language-gfm issues-44
A simple solution is to put a space after *, but that is not perfect as expected

Yep, seems to happen with all syntax themes as I can reproduce this issue using One Dark/Light as well.

[Daniel-UCAS]

Is there a better way to solve this?

[silvestreh]

It seems that the space after the * character is the only way to go. Also, looks like the bug report on the language package is almost two years old which is really unfortunate it's not being prioritized.
