📝 How to keep a lonely <p> element in a <li> tag

Hello everyone,

What I'm trying to achieve is to keep my paragraph tags inside a list item.
If I add this markup into the HTML source mode, the <p> will automatically disappear when switching back & forth to this mode

Input

<ul>
    <li>
        <p>
            test 1
        </p>
    </li>
</ul>

after switching back & forth HTML source mode, output:

<ul>
    <li>
            test 1
    </li>
</ul>

What confuses me more is that when using two <p> inside the editor, the behavior is different:

input :

<ul>
    <li>
        <p>
            test 1
        </p>
        <p>
            test 2
        </p>
    </li>
</ul>

output :

<ul>
    <li>
        <p>
            test 1
        </p>
        <p>
            test 2
        </p>
    </li>
</ul>

I am using default Drupal implementation but I was also able to reproduce on the feature-rich editor.
I can't find any configuration setting for this particular setup, nor any issue related.. Am I missing something, or is there anything I can do to prevent this behavior ?

Thanks in advance,

There's no configuration option for this behavior and I'd say it's hard to override this behavior without it.

May I ask why you need the paragraph within a single-block <li>?

The problem is: In huge number of cases it superfluous and most editors won't output them, that's why we're not doing this too.

Why is it even removed in the first place? Having a P tag inside a LI tag is not considered invalid HTML, so I think it should be kept if people insert it.
