```go-html-template
{{ .Title | markdownify }}
```

If the resulting HTML is a single paragraph, Hugo removes the wrapping `p` tags to produce inline HTML as required per the example above.

To keep the wrapping `p` tags for a single paragraph, use the [`.Page.RenderString`] method, setting the `display` option to `block`.

If the resulting HTML is two or more paragraphs, Hugo leaves the wrapping `p` tags in place.

{{% note %}}
Although the `markdownify` function honors [markdown render hooks] when rendering markdown to HTML, use the `.Page.RenderString` method instead of `markdownify` if a render hook accesses `.Page` context. See issue [#9692] for details.
