Totally OT: How are you managing to use an asterisk as a footnote indicator and not ending up with the two asterisks invisible and the text in between in italic? I've seen this before and I've tried to replicate it and I can't do it. :-/

An asterisk followed by whitespace doesn't begin italics, so you get * word * rather than word.

Oh. Thank you!
