I don’t think he wants p tags inside of li tags. This is a limitation of how Blocs creates content in lists. Lists can also contain buttons, images etc, however, there is only one way to add text to Blocs using Brics and that’s with either a p, label or a heading. So when you want to add just text to a list the only way is with a text tag.
@markusloffler if you create li items without p tags, you’ll see that these are not styled, e.g. don’t have the same font face as set inside the project default settings (if it was changed). Same for color etc.
