XHTML validation error when we use [list] tags

I just did...
I downloaded the latest CVS, and I tried to create a page with the following code:

[list]
[*]first element

[*]second element
[/list]

And the html result is:

<ol class="bb-list" style="list-style-type:circle;"><li>first element

<p></li><li>second element
</li></ol></p>

Notice that the (p) tag is before the closing (/li) tag, which is not xhtml compliant. I think this is because bbcode closes (li) tags on a new line, just before the next (li) opening...

Yes but... no ;)
Because I want a line break between the two elements... so you say it is impossible to have a line break between the two elements without coding it myself with [br] tags? I can do this but I'm sure end users will put line breaks inside the list... and I cannot verify all articles for such things...

Perhaps an idea would be to code bbcode to always use (br) tags instead of (p) tags? I think it could be a good idea because a line break is not always a new paragraph. Example: for now, if I write

[i]one line

another line[/i]

It does not work because bbcode creates two paragraphs... it will work if bbcode just puts (br) instead...

Perhaps then a setting where the admin can choose whether to use (p) or (br) for new lines.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but if we put TWO line breaks, it does not work in bbcode, bbcode creates just one paragraph...

So really I think bbcode, at least as an option, should put (br) instead of (p).

No, I tried your solution, I even created a new format without bbcode and just with drupal's line break converter, and it still puts (p) and not (br) when I put two line breaks...

And moreover with drupal's line break converter, it puts the whole list inside a new paragraph... so no xhtml anymore...

It seems it works fine, thanks... Now my articles pass xhtml validation...
