`'*'` gets parsed as `tag`

[T727]

Problem

'*' gets a parsed as a tag node

Examples

• editing.txt line 1584
• autocmd.txt line 1165

Additional notes

Reproducable on Windows11, nvim release 0.9.0 with nvim --clean

That is known and "wontfix" -- the docs should be edited instead to use the unambiguous "*". (PR welcome.)

[Justin M. Keyes]

Incidentally, this is mostly fixed in #97 ('*' will parse as word and possibly ERROR, though I'll try to improve that).

But still, it's silly for help text to have invalid links like this. ' is a special char in help text, it shouldn't be mis-used.
