Literal HTML in Markdown serialization fails

[arabello]

next-mdx-remote fails to serialize the Markdown package description when a literal HTML tag is not self-closed, e.g. <br>. After a small investigation it seems there is not ready-to-go plugin to fix it, even though the underlying mdx-js provide a way to correctly render it.

A naive fix was to replace the tag to the corresponding self-closing one, e.g. <br> to </br> at string level. This should be done only for specific tags that are crashing current packages, as it is not a robust solution.

Leaving this open to eventually find a proper fix

Generalizing this as other issue with HTML tags are emerging:

• <br> fails in git. Replacing it with <br>
• <kbd> fails in greek-letters-alt. Replacing it with backquotes.
• Missing newline fails to properly render the below node (e.g. table in belarusian-letters). No solution found yet

NB: String replacing is a temporary fix. This issue should be addressed using specific remark and rehype plugins or by writing a custom one.
