Things that break

FastHTML is designed for maximum performance, therefore it will not

• Try to fix broken markup
• Try to fix slightly broken markup
• Try to do automagic closing stuff
• Be graceful about unescaped HTML strings in inline script, style and HTML attributes

Solutions

• </script> strings in inline script - Use <![CDATA[...]]>.
• HTML strings in attributes - Escape them.
