Dear Huan,
Markdown doesn't know the concept of figure*. So you can't generate it with
native Markdown markup. If you really need figure*, then the only option in
markdown is to generate the LaTeX code yourself. Note that is will break
conversion to formats that don't handle LaTeX code.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
