For this code multiline block is placed in the bottom of diagram:
@startmindmap* abc * bcd * dbc *:it doesn't work;@endmindmap
@startmindmap
* abc * bcd * dbc *:it doesn't work;
@endmindmap
But, if you add non markdown syntax it will works:
@startmindmap* abc * bcd * dbc***:it works;@endmindmap
* abc * bcd * dbc***:it works;
