Description

In some cases I find that the preview package recognises a * text as *text. I.E. it italicises instead of creating a list. (I'm using github markdown)

Steps to Reproduce

2. [Second Step]
3. [and so on...]

Expected behavior: Create a list
Actual behavior: Italicization

Reproduces how often: 80%
