One way around it is by using "nowiki" tags, so  should give you:

*blah blah blah*

Even if that's typed at the beginning of a line. However, I've found that other tags (e.g. "span", "div", etc) seem to prevent the asterisk from turning into a bullet point if they're placed at the beginning of the line as well. At any rate though, "nowiki" should definitely work from what I'm seeing.

(If you want the bullet point there, then I think you'll need to ensure that the asterisk is right at the beginning of the line before any formatting tags).
