 * I use a full-site editing theme. While in the editor, I added a couple of HTML
   blocks in my footer. After saving, and only if I go back to the editor, I think
   wpautop adds paragraph and line break tags throughout my HTML code. Or, something
   is adding these tags. I assume it’s wpautop, and I assume by default HTML blocks
   are supposed to be ignored.
 * This could be a plugin conflict, but I love all of the plugins I am using and
   therefore even if it is a plugin conflict I would have trouble saying goodbye
   to the one conflicting.
 * Having said that, I wonder what function I could add that would force wpautop
   to ignore all HTML blocks, but only HTML blocks. Because I want default WordPress
   functionality elsewhere.
 * And/or, if anyone has any other thoughts or ideas that would be appreciated.

 * FYI: This does not happen with regular posts and pages. Only the full site editor.
