More information: a single character works as expected. For example, with the
input

	This is * intersting.

the asterisk is output. But this

	This is "*" interesting because I am talking about "*" characters.

outputs the text between the asterisks as bold. Is there any way to turn off
the meaning of "*", "+", etc. so that it does not start a region of marked up
text?

Another question: can I insert literal HTML characters like &42; (which is an
asterisk)?
