transform.Markdownify

<h2>{{ .Title | markdownify }}</h2>

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 RenderString method on the Page object, setting the display option to block.

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