Description

expected result:
> You could literally be doing *anything.*
Actual result:
> You could literally be doing *anything. *
This is a very understandable bug because the space after the period in the article is actually italicized (it's part of the em element). However for markdown the * needs to be right next to the word. A space inside it results in the stars be rendered as literal stars.

Research direction
Start by converting the linked Medium article and compare the generated Markdown with the expected and actual examples in the issue. Trace the conversion path that handles italic text and verify that trailing spaces are excluded from the emphasis markers; done means the output matches the expected Markdown.
