This is not true. A space after "*" is required.


### 5.5.2 Unordered list items

Lines beginning with "* " are unordered list items.  This line type exists
purely for stylistic reasons.  The * may be replaced in advanced clients by
a bullet symbol.  Any text after the "* " should be presented to the user as
if it were a text line, i.e.  wrapped to fit the viewport and formatted
"nicely".  Advanced clients can take the space of the bullet symbol into
account when wrapping long list items to ensure that all lines of text
corresponding to the item are offset an equal distance from the edge of
the screen.
