Strings in angle brackets are deleted from report

[gscelsi]

Any string enclosed in angle brackets "<>", where the first character after the opening bracket is not blank, is removed from the output html report. Sometimes strange effects also occur, as it is the case in example #8 with the insertion of a double-quotes character.

My guess: Angle brackets are what defines HTML tags, so what you are probably seeing is rendered HTML. If the code inside your angle brackets is not valid HTML it will just be ignored by the browser, making it seem like it just disappered.

I would expect pytest-html to quote any test output when inserting it into its own html code. Is that not the case?

The boring answer is "it depends".

Can you share some code that I can use to repro what you're seeing? Preferably with a screenshot of what the result is.

I have already attached code to reproduce as well as html output from the code.
