The MediaWiki API seems to add paragraph tags when it parses wikitext, but only 
sometimes. Example:

http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=Extension:Header/version&format=json&prop=text

This page (Extension:Header/version) contains only the text "1.0" but gets 
turned into "<p>1.0</p>" when parsed via API.  On the other hand, the <p> tag 
is absent if you transclude {{Extension:Header/version}} into another wiki 
article.

This doesn't happen if your wiki page contains just a table, so something 
tricky is going on here. :-)

Is there a way to make api.php suppress the <p> tag in my first example?

Thanks,
DanB
