Fix inline HTML case#1649
Conversation
HTML handling is inconsistent. In some places it allows `<` and `>` in attributes, and in other places rejects it. The HTML spec allows for these in attributes, and browsers will escape them. While it is generally recommended that users escape `<` and `>`, it is not explicitly required. If the attribute is quoted, it should allow `<` and `>`. Update regex pattern to allow attributes with angled brackets and use possessive quantifiers to performance as we are now only supporting Python 3.10+. Fixes Python-Markdown#1647
