RFC: Remove p Paragraph Tags between li Tags
li[Home](/)/li li[About Me](/about-me.html)/li li[Projects](/projects.html)/li creates plia href=/Home/a/li lia href=/about-me.htmlAbout Me/a/li lia href=/projects.htmlProjects/a/li/p Is this a bug or a feature? I think it shouldn't be that way because the p Tags around `li`s are illegal.

Why are you doing half-Markdowny? * [Home](/) * [About Me](/about-me.html) * [Projects](/projects.html) generates ul lia href=/Home/a/li lia href=/about-me.htmlAbout Me/a/li lia href=/projects.htmlProjects/a/li /ul ...which is legal and expected. I think being more idiomatic is to your benefit here.

I think it shouldn't be that way because the p Tags around `li`s are illegal. As the docs [1] state: “Markdown is smart enough not to add extra (unwanted) `p` tags around HTML block-level tags.” The key there is “block-level tags” which `li`s are not ( go ahead and check the HTML spec on that). If you want to create raw HTML lists, then you need to wrap them in the appropriate block-level tag yourself. This is a case of garbage in - garbage out. When you're using raw HTML, you need to use valid HTML. Markdown will not fix your invalid HTML for you. So, in your case, a `li` not in a `ol` or `ul` in not valid HTML. Therefore markdown doesn't fix it to make it valid. Markdown's understanding of HTML is way to limited for that. Hope that explains things for you.
