Jekyll - How can I make avoid a paragraph to be added on a YAML frontmatter markdownify item

Question

Okay... I have a project where I'm using Jekyll for a podcast project. And I chose to list the hosts in the shownotes by a YAML Front Matter item:

hosts:
  - Name A
  - Name B
  - Name C

Using this piece of code

<li> <strong>Hosts:</strong>
<ul>
  {% for host in page.hosts %}
<li>{{ host }}
{% endfor %}
</ul>

I receive the correct list

<ul>
<li> <strong>Hosts:</strong> 
<ul> 
  <li>Name A </li>
  <li>Name B </li>
  <li>Name C </li>
</ul>
</ul>

However, I want to markdownify this by doing

<li> <strong>Hosts:</strong>
<ul>
  {% for host in page.hosts %}
<li>{{ host | markdownify }}
{% endfor %}
</ul>

But Jekyll returns:

<ul>
<li> <strong>Hosts:</strong> 
<ul> 
  <li><p>Name A </p></li>
  <li><p>Name B </p></li>
  <li><p>Name C </p></li>
</ul>
</ul>

Any way to forbid Jekyll to add the <p> tag into the list item? Actually, if I want to add any rich formatting, I need to put HTML directly into the items, but I want to add it via Markdown'ing the Front Matter text. Any suggestions?

PS: my site is hosted at Github Pages

You can use the remove filter like this :

{{ host | markdownify | remove: '<p>' | remove: '</p>' }}
