Re: Error: No p element in scope but a p end tag seen.

It is highly likely (but I can't be bothered to check the specification) that a <ul> is not allowed inside a <p>.  If that is the case, then the first occurrence of an opening  <ul> tag within a <p> element will close the <p> element (silently) and thus there will be no <p> element in scope when the </p> is encountered.
