Notes: in both Firefox and Edge, the TTS voice said, "asterisk," when it found Markdown code for italics at the start and end of my latest post where I am quoting some song lyrics. I added a '>' to make it into a quotation, and that eliminated the first TTS glitch, but it still recited "asterisk" at the end of that section. This seems to occur only for a block of italicized text, though, not for short words or phrases where it adds emphasis in a larger sentence. Hopefully that makes sense somehow. Maybe I need to adjust my own aesthetic sensibilities here to accommodate the robot.

Thanks for reporting. I'll see if I can improve it to skip those characters 👍
I know stomping bugs is a pain. Overall, the feature is solid so far. Not bad at all for a mere beta release!
Found a way to improve the parser to detect more of those special characters. Please refresh the website and give it another try 👍
Tested without refreshing, it repeated the "asterisk." Refreshed the page, and it didn't. Seems like a success to me!
EDIT: I also removed the quotation angle bracket and it properly read the lines without mentioning either asterisk.
Nice, let me know if you find other glitches that we can work on 🙏
