feat(HTML)!: `HTML` class no longer inherits from `str` #86

Open schloerke opened 4 months ago

schloerke commented 4 months ago

Breaking changes

HTML no longer inherits from str. This was done to avoid confusion between strings and HTML objects. (#TODO)
Tag and TagList's method .get_html_string() now both return str instead of HTML. (#TODO)
TagAttrDict no longer silently supports HTML values for attrs. Only str values are supported. (#TODO)

New features

Exported ReprHtml protocol class. If an object has a _repr_html_ method, then it is of instance ReprHtml. (#TODO)

Benefits:

No ambiguity between a str type and an HTML type.
