todo list parsing failing on lists starting with `*`

[peterbe]

Check out this issue description. There's a working todo-list. He's done it like this:

TODO:
* [ ] docs
* [ ] unit test suite passing
* [ ] functional test suite passing
* [ ] headless test suite passing
* [ ] containerized firefox + selenium hub integration tests passing
* [x] determine if collectstatic should be run during docker image creation

marktex fails to parse this into a todo list.

Here's my debugging:

:~/dev/JAVASCRIPT/react-buggy (master *%>)$ cat test.md
Other **things** are working.

TODO:
* [ ] docs
* [ ] unit test suite passing
* [ ] functional test suite passing
* [ ] headless test suite passing
* [ ] containerized firefox + selenium hub integration tests passing
* [x] determine if collectstatic should be run during docker image creation
:~/dev/JAVASCRIPT/react-buggy (master *%>)$ marktex -f test.md

<p>Other <strong>things</strong> are working.</p>
<p>TODO:</p>
<ul>
<li>[ ] docs</li>
<li>[ ] unit test suite passing</li>
<li>[ ] functional test suite passing</li>
<li>[ ] headless test suite passing</li>
<li>[ ] containerized firefox + selenium hub integration tests passing</li>
<li>[x] determine if collectstatic should be run during docker image creation</li>
</ul>

If I replace the * with a - it works:

:~/dev/JAVASCRIPT/react-buggy (master *%>)$ cat test-mod.md
Other **things** are working.

TODO:
- [ ] docs
- [ ] unit test suite passing
- [ ] functional test suite passing
- [ ] headless test suite passing
- [ ] containerized firefox + selenium hub integration tests passing
- [x] determine if collectstatic should be run during docker image creation
:~/dev/JAVASCRIPT/react-buggy (master *%>)$ marktex -f test-mod.md


<p>Other <strong>things</strong> are working.</p>

I'm sorry this project is no longer maintained. You probably want showdown or node-gfm.

I'll appreciate it if you want to contribute and take it over.
