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.
