Description David 2007-06-15 15:33:54 UTC 
If an empty <p/> element is used in wiki markup, it's parsed as &amp;lt;p/&amp;gt; the resulting HTML, instead of an HTML paragraph element.
Comment 1 David 2007-06-15 15:34:55 UTC 
Whoops.  I meant:

&lt;p/&gt;

not

&amp;lt;p/&amp;gt;
Comment 2 Aryeh Gregor (not reading bugmail, please e-mail directly) 2007-06-20 06:36:10 UTC 
Note that browser support for self-closing tags is, as far as I know, shabby, so it's probably best to translate it to <p></p>.
Comment 3 Jesse (Pathoschild) 2007-06-27 03:15:45 UTC 
The paragraph element is a container, so a self-closing tag would probably make little sense in this case. The <br /> tag would be more appropriate, or correctly using the paragraph tag as a <p>container</p>, or using the wiki double-spacing syntax (which is parsed as <p> tags). 

It might be better to discourage the use of bad markup, rather than encourage it by hacking it into working.
