paragraphs merged inside itemize in ocamldoc html backend

[hendriktews]

ocamldoc documentation says that an empty line forces a new line. However, in the html output of

(**
   {ul
   {li a

       b
   }
   }
 *)
val c : (int, int) Hashtbl.t

a and b are on the same line.
Observed in 4.09 and 4.10.

One can force a paragraph for html with

{%html: <p> %}

What this means is that the issue will be automatically closed in 30 days unless more comments are added or the "stale" label is removed. Comments that provide new information on the issue are especially welcome: is it still reproducible? did it appear in other contexts? how critical is it? etc.

To me this looks like an attempt to get rid of bugs for which the maintainers show no interest to fix them.

The automatic formatting in paragraphs is indeed limited to the toplevel documentation comments and does not happen inside a formatting tag.

Since ocamldoc is in maintenance mode, I will update the documentation to more precisely reflect that point.
