The obsidian-helper renders markdown as HTML using the obsidian markdown engine. It has one setting which will remove the wrapping <p> tag from the output if inline is set to true.

      {{{#obsidian inline="true"}}} {{{task}}} [[{{{page}}}|📝]] {{{/obsidian}}}

when used with this context:

    {
      task: "This is a **thing** to do",
      page: "folder/SomePage.md"
    }

will result in:

    This is a <strong>thing</strong> to do

If the inline property is not set, then the output will be wrapped in a <p> tag and result in:

<p>This is a <strong>thing</strong> to do</p>
