But why only "<p>"? And further, if you substitute "<b>" for ","<p>",
the answer command replies faithfully, in spite of the "contains p or
a start/end tag pair" comment above, which it seems should include
all such constructs, like "<b>". Isn't that a "start/end tag pair?

No, but "<b> </b>" is a tag pair. :)

The IDE was updated to allow htmltext after people complained that there was no way to use styled text in an answer dialog. There had to be some kind of convention to determine what was htmltext and what was intended symbols, so those two rules were implemented. If there is a paragraph or a tag pair (beginning and closing tags) in the text then it's html. I don't believe a closing paragraph tag is required. All other tags must have them.
