"What's the problem?"
ON English Wikisource there is template : https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:Sinogram
which is used to inline using an image an otherwise unsupported character..
The documentation for this contains the following entry:-
": RESULT: {{sinogram|description=⿰火乚|variantof=炸|comment=not in Unicode}}"
The documentation page was showing up on Special:LintErrors ; https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Sinogram/doc&action=edit&lintid=529985
So I took the code line into Special:ExpandTemplates
And got the following raw output...:-
<div class="mw-parser-output"><dl><dd> RESULT: <span style="cursor:help;border-bottom:thin dotted red;" title="variant of 炸;not in Unicode"></dd></dl> <p>⿰火乚 </span> </p></div>
which is badly formed.
"What was expected?"
The expected behavior was that the Template output was wrapped inside the DD/DL element. and not pushed into it's own <p></p>.
