Full syntax :
    Here is a *strong* word
    Here is a strong expression : {*} 2*3*4 {*}
    
To simplify the use of the styles "Strong", "Emphasis" and "Underline" we use the characters *, / and _ (underscore) directly in the text, or as commands inside "{}"

If used directly, there must be a space or newline in front of the first "*", only letters and spaces between, and space, newline or punctuation after the second "*", and both "*"'s must be next to a letter.

To actually display a "*" prefix it with "\"

Example:
I must tell you Darla, I have *strong* feelings about this, and that's no /joke/.
