[Mediawiki-l] Preventing extension output from being wrapped with "<p>" and "</p>"?

[Ken McDonald]

Sigh, having written a couple of extensions to (separately) insert HTML 
opening and closing tags into pages, I find that the output of those 
extension tags is being wrapped in <p>...</p>. This occurs even if I 
don't put line breaks before/after the tags (and omitting line breaks 
messes other things up anyway).

For example, one of my tags outputs: <span style="display:block; 
float:left; width:33%">

and in the HTML I get:

<p><span style="display:block; float:left; width:33%">
</p>

which is not only not what I want, but also incorrect HTML!


Thanks,
Ken
