This is interesting. GitHub uses Asciidoctor to render the asciidoc files!

Ondra, where did you report this issue? If you didn't report it to Asciidoctor, I will.

Hi Sande,

Thanks for your patience. After some digging, it looks like we use the third party tool Asciidoctor [1] for the conversion, which is where the extra `<p>` tags are coming from. I'd recommend opening an issue in the Asciidoctor repo about this. Once changes are made there, we should be able to pull them into GitHub.

Cheers,
Jess
