Spaces missing from translation of Markdown files by tikal -t -ms using Microsoft translate API (v2)

[Kuro Kurosaka (BH Lab)]

Translation of Markdown file by tikal -t using Microsoft Translator (-ms) lacks spaces surrounding markups

I have this one-line Markdown file for testing:

Astronomers at last have captured a picture of the *darkest* entities in the cosmos.

I ran:

./tikal.sh -t short.md -sl en -tl es -ms mstrans.conf

mstrans.conf just has azureKey= line with an azure key.

The resulting file lacks a space surrounding the part corresponding to "*darkest*"

Los astrónomos por fin han capturado una imagen de la*más oscuros*entidades en el cosmos.

The correct translation would be:

Los astrónomos por fin han capturado una imagen de la *más oscuros* entidades en el cosmos.

This was observed with M36 and M37 stable releases.

A new version in development to use Microsoft v3 API also shows the same issue.

More complicated file formats like .docx do not show this.
