 With 5.4 the privacy policy guide aesthetic was updated to introduce a
 white background on the suggested text. In the CSS this only applies to
 paragraph elements (`<p>`).

 Reviewing some other
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01E4VTZDVQY3Y4JJC8T51WGZHW plugin
 implementations] there is at minimum a need to also support `<ul>`,
 `<ol>`, and `<table>` elements.
 *I've only gone through the top 15 plugins from the link above so further
 investigation is in order.

 This primarily comes from a comment on the woocommerce PR
 [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/25576#issuecomment-606632244
 here];
 > "Tested in WP 5.0 and 5.3.2, and in both cases the difference is that
 <p> sections inside the "Source: WooCommerce" section appear in italics
 after applying the changes; other elements (mostly <li>) appear unchanged.
 Is this the expected behavior?"
 While it refers to pre-5.4 the issue persists and gets worse in 5.4 in
 that it's not just italics but now padding and background which becomes
 jarring when it goes from a paragraph (styled) to a list (unstyled) and
 back to paragraph (styled).

 The white background in 5.4 is meant to denote the content being copied
 and as such should encompass these other elements;
 p - already does
 h# - shouldn't as the design excludes them
 hr - maybe
 ul - yes, used in plugins
 ([https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/woocommerce/trunk/includes
 /class-wc-privacy.php#L78 example])
 ol - yes, used in plugins ([https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser
 /the-events-calendar/tags/5.0.3.1/src/admin-views/privacy.php#L33
 example])
 table - yes, used in plugins -
 ([https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/popup-
 maker/trunk/classes/Privacy.php#L72 example])
 div - potentially
 ... - Open to others as well.

 Also note the list items aren't denoted with bullet points in the current
 design. This makes them look like paragraphs and could be confusing.
