An asterisk with a space causes a syntax error

[dplassgit]

If I'm writing a bulleted list and skip an entry, I get an error.

For example:

• foo
• bar

(The second line is asterisk,space)

The error is

Encountered " "\n "" at line 2, column 3. Was expecting one of: " " ... "\t" ... "&" ... "" ... "" ... "!" ... ":" ... "\"" ... "=" ... ">" ... "[" ... "(" ... "<" ... "-" ... "+" ... "]" ... ")" ...
