jQuery TE Paragraph Tag Issue

jQuery TE Paragraph Tag Issue

I have an issue with the paragraph tags not wrapping where they should.

I get:

  1. first sentence<p></p>second sentence<p></p>thirds sentence<p></p>

when it should be

  1. <p>first sentence</p><p>second sentence</p><p>thirds sentence</p>

For some reason it is placing the text outside of the tags.

Any ideas anyone? :-)
