Wild, random P tags appear in nested list with BR tag inside LI tag

  • Hello. Help, please.

    I have got some wild (random) </p> tags in my source code when there is no opening <p>.

    Let us make a simple nested list:

    <ol>
<li>Lorem ipsum</li>
<li>Dolor sit amet:
<ul><li>Consectetur adipiscing elit</li></ul></li>
<li>Etc.</li>
</ol>

    This works fine. The problem appears when we use a break line in our list:

    <ol>
<li>Lorem ipsum</li>
<li>Dolor sit amet<br />
Consectetur adipiscing elit<br />
Fusce tempus ut libero vel semper: *** here appears a random </p> ***
<ul>
<li>Nam sed neque luctus</li>
<li>Malesuada quam eu</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Etc.</li>
</ol>

    Examlpe: onauke.com/story/451 (there are 5 opening <p> tags and 8 closing </p> tags).

    I believe you can copy and paste the last list in empty wordpress page or post and you will see the problem (just delete the part “*** here appears a random </p> ***” when you paste the code to wordpress editor).

    Settings > Writing > “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” is unchecked. I checked the plugins, and I think that this is a wordpress issue.

    Thanks.
