Subject: 28.2; incorrect highlighting in HTML+ mode
Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2022 02:51:32 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

On the attached HTML file (beginning of a HTML file from Wikipedia),
highlighting is incorrect.

1. Open file.html with "emacs -Q file.html".
2. Go to the end of the file.

In the paragraph starting with

<p>The first version of unums, formally known as Type I unum, was introduced in Gustafson's book <i>The End of Error</i> as a superset

everything from "'s book" is highlighted in a different color.

Removing some parts before this paragraph makes the highlighting correct.

HTML Mode evidently considers what follows the apostrophe to be a
string.  Replacing the literal apostrophe with &#39; fixes the
display.

Perhaps, but HTML mode's behavior is surprisingly inconsistent:
on a case with some earlier text removed, this behavior no longer
occurs.

I confirm Vincent observation:  HTML Mode behavior with quotes is
inconsistent.

Bug still present with 30.0.50 build from commit b9a910a701a.

I reproduced with emacs -Q and the files test.html and test_ko.html
attached to this message.

Note that removing random space charaters in the style element sometime
fix the problem.

Note that fontification looks good with html-ts-mode.
