<p>Hi Chris,</p>

</p>
<p>Yes, the <p> is one of the more unfortunate aspects of EAD. </p>
<p>For this use case ( where you start the note with markup ), you have to add your own <p> tags to wrap the note. </p>

<div dir="ltr">Hello --
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It appears that if the first word or phrase in any of the "notes" elements that contain a text block and support mixed content, like abstract, bioghist or scopecontent is wrapped in a persname, the EAD export is invalid as all paragraphs lack p element
wrappers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've tested this with other elements to start the first paragraph and persname to start the second paragraph and those do not cause problems, only persname to start the first paragraph.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Example bioghist EAD prior to import:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><bioghist encodinganalog="545">-<p><persname>Francis Steiner</persname>was born January 16, 1895 in New Jersey, to German parents. He was the oldest of three children.</p><p>A communist and conscientious objector [etc.] </p><p>There is no information regarding
Francis Steiner after his last letter of November 7, 1920. </p></bioghist><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Example bioghist EAD after export:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><bioghist id="aspace_6e16003b2d18f8ad6c487cd5712fc162"><head>Biographical / Historical</head><persname>Francis Steiner</persname>was born January 16, 1895 in New Jersey, to German parents. He was the oldest of three children. A communist and conscientious
