links in posts end up on separate paragraphs

[dventimi]

Hi,

When I make a Markdown link using the [link target](link name) syntax
in a markdown file in my _posts directory, the resulting HTML has the
link name wrapped in enclosing paragraphs tags (<p>link name</p>) so
that it's rendered as a separate paragraph, breaking the flow of the
post. This doesn't happen when I put a link in, say, index.markdown.
Why does this happen?

Thanks!
Best,
D
