Prevent wrapping list items in paragraph tags?
Hi, I'm still new to Perch and using markdown in general and I'm wondering why Perch seems to wrap list items in <p> tags and if there is a way I can prevent that without using HTML?
The really strange thing is that is also seems to be wrapping each ordered list item on my page in <p> tags apart from the last one :/
What the result looks like -
My HTML mark up:
<div class="col-8-12">
<article>
<h1 class="content-title">What does the building offer?</h1>
<div class="content-box">
<?php perch_content("About Main Content"); ?>
</div>
</article>
</div>
My markdown in Perch (Text block region):
1. There is a main hall which can accommodate up to 140 people, with professional and robust [Amtico flooring.](https://www.amtico.com "Amtico flooring") There is a choice of either round or rectangular tables for seated events. There is a kitchen adjoining the main hall which is very well equipped and contains sufficient china, cutlery and glassware for 140 place settings.
2. There is a smaller hall which is still spacious and versatile, with carpets and a kitchenette area. This is ideal for meetings and gatherings of up to 50 people.
3. In addition there is a lounge area and a separate IT room which can be hired separately.
Since the hall opened 5 years ago residents of Chartham (and beyond) have had opportunities to join in a wide variety of activities. These include very well attended weekly Mother and Toddler groups, Bingo, Line Dancing, Hip Hop dance class, Yoga class, a Youth Club and Slimming Groups, etc.
Can you show us your template?
Don't worry I solved it! (sort of) Seems like for some reason having a space between list items causes the last child to not be wrapped in a <p> tag. But I'm still not completely sure why it decides to add <p> tags inside a list item in the first place?
If we can see your template then we can explain.
All seems to be working fine as I said other than the addition of <p> tags in to my <li>. My template for this is very simple, so it may not help, but here it is:

Thanks, that will come in handy.
