Triple quotes throws error in pyscript. about pyscript HOT 8 CLOSED

there is only one tag you can't have within a <script> and that's </script> ... because it closes the opening one.

This is not PyScript, this is how Web standards work and the only caveat around data elements (namely: script).

If you change that huge triple quoted string at the very end using <\x2fscript> instead of </script> nothing different should happen.

The \x2f char represents / but it doesn't bother the browser as that's just code within a code related tag.

Bear in mind injecting scripts via strings is XSS error prone and it might even be disabled by browsers + keep in mind you cannot inject whole pages into an element ... elements are not iframes so expect issues (due Web standars) there too.

This is impossible to fix code-wise because we don't get to change the browser parsing behavior here.

Closing as there's no follow-up action from our side, beside eventually documenting this but nothing we can ever fix.

If you have any follow up question, feel free to ask.

To whom it might concern, this is issue is the equivalent of:

<script>
  console.log(`
    <script>nope</script>
  `);
</script>

That cannot work on the Web, but this can:

<script>
  console.log(`
    <script>nope<\x2fscript>
  `);
</script>

You can see even GitHub highlighter goes bananas with the former example.

Indeed it still works this way.

@nasrin1748 your example uses an external file ... that never interferes with the parsing of the DOM within the browser.

Please note that this is not an opinion of mine, this is how the Web standards work.

If you write </script> inside a <script></script> tag and that's not the closing tag you will have errors in a way or another. The script is indeed meant as non-processing node/instruction and it ignores everything until the closing tag.

If you were referring to something else like putting a DOCTYPE node with html and body inside a <div> I am telling you that's not doing what you think it's doing ... and this is also defined by Web standards.

If you need any other clarification feel free to ask.

P.S. to explain further the issue, it's the exact same with multi line coments:

/**
 * if you put */ here that's it
 */

See the broken highlight or try it in any JS, C, or any other PL context and see the result is not what you meant.
