But clearly you start with the asterisk
I've always been asterisk at the end, but mostly because it's easier for me to type that way.
Asterisk starts a bullet list in a lot of richtext fields that use markdown
*If you don't put space
What kind of heathen doesn't?
No, you edit the message so that the typo has a * after it, since asterisks indicate a footnote. Then you post the corrective message with the asterisk at the beginning.
Just edit the original message with [sic]
This is the way.
