Subject: asterisk allowed for list items
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 11:53:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <78aed94a0114fd29322e6da7581161ec@posteo.de> (raw)

I was looking into https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html#Items to 
find out which characters are allowed as "bullets" for unorderd lists.

I cite from there
"An asterisk, hyphen, or plus sign character (i.e., *, -, or +)."

I wonder why * is allowed because * also starts a heading. So how does a 
piece of software/parser decide if a line starting with an * is a 
heading or a list item?
