Right, you won't get an error message or anything. It literally just converts what you give it. You won't see something like "oh, you forgot an asterisk here", but instead we assume that the input with a missing asterisk is what the user intended and translate it as-given. |

Any string input to Marked.js is technically "valid". No matter what string you feed into
marked.parse, you will get some HTML out. It just might not be the HTML you want (garbage in, garbage out). I.e., you could domarked.parse("ajl*gA#**@(*()**gg**s*G@(AUG)J*")and you would get some HTML (<p>ajl<em>gA#**@(</em>()<strong>gg</strong>s<em>G@(AUG)J</em></p>) out. There's nothing secretive about it.
