Yeah, if you want to use asterisks without italicizing your text, you need to escape them with backslashes, and then you can write things like 5 * 2 * 1 = 10. That is, you'd write it like this:

  5 \* 2 \* 1 = 10

Is there a place this is all written down? It's not in the FAQ...

Yes, and I was too slow to getting back and trying to edit it. Sorry about that.
