AsciiDoc list inside paragraph?

Question

With AsciiDoc, if I write this:

p1

* l1
* l2

p2

It translates to HTML as roughly

<p>p1</p>
<ul><li>l1</li><li>l2</li></ul>
<p>p2</p>

Is there a way to write the equivalent of the following?

<p>p1
<ul><li>l1</li><li>l2</li></ul>
p2</p>

Answer 1

No, that can't be done.

The reason is that your requested way is illegal in HTML(5): <ul> tags can not be nested inside <p> tags[*].

The answer to this related SO question gives the details, with references to the HTML specification.

(In a sense, your question is therefore a duplicate of that question.)

[*] Officially, they can't, but you'll probably find that if you do so anyway, browsers will find a way to render it. Probably by making p1 and p2 their own paragraphs.
