Description

If adjacent `< highlight >` shortcodes have an extra return between them, it breaks the language switcher tabs. This appears to be happening because the Markdown parser generates empty `<p>` tags for the return. This doesn't happen in all circumstances. It seems to happen if the first shortcode is preceded by a text element and no return. The jQuery in language-switch-v2.js doesn't expect the `<p>` tags, and the CSS probably doesn't either.

It may be possible to fix this by removing `<p>` tags. We shouldn't touch the Hugo markdown parser or builtin shortcodes.
