<img src="https://picsum.photos/300" alt="hello.png" />

Why is it that when you add an image with markdown syntax it automatically adds a paragraph and puts the image in the paragraph? But it don't when you type it with HTML instead?

Adding the image alone inside a paragraph is not correct html. Is it possible to solve this? <3
