Unnecessary <p>...</p>s are inserted to every top-level HTML literal

See original GitHub issue

MDX (2.0.0-next.8) adds unnecessary p layers as

Input

<h1>Title</h1>

<p>Text</p>

Output

<h1><p>Title</p></h1>

<p><p>Text</p></p>

This will break styles and some React components that take children.

IMO this behaviour should not require a plugin to fix it, it shouldn’t happen at all. @wooorm are you saying that this is correct parsing?

Seems the<p>- inserting rule has changed since 2.0.0-next.9.

No, the truth is that the parser has moved to mdast-util-mdx-jsx and the names of nodes of AST have also changed:

mdxBlockElement to mdxJsxFlowElement
mdxAttribute to mdxJsxAttribute
