Bold with * parsing issue

[varunachalam-chwy]

A bold string with prefix * is not getting parsed into HTML
ex. *This is a note

I'll try to take a look at fixing this when I can, but it's a lower priority than most of my other open source work.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to have time to fix this.

I think the behavior of this string changed on GitHub.com when GitHub adopted CommonMark. When I started MMMarkdown, CommonMark didn't exist, so this behavior wasn't well-specified.

I would be happy to review PRs that address inconsistencies with CommonMark. But since I'm not actively using MMMarkdown myself, I'm not able to donate time to do it myself.
