hi tim,

it isn't malformed, so definitely not looking to be told it's
malformed.  it is just text that is not emphasis.

if you think the function works as expected by skipping the rest of
the buffer, then never mind.

i was, in that case, just emphasizing that the code floating around
that is used to fontify the agenda is going to break.  so nm.
