Unexpected behavior when text contains HTML tags

It seems that unexpected behavior occurs when the text contains HTML tags.

I am providing an example of a page that caused an issue when I imported it into LingQ.

You can’t import text with HTML tags, that never worked. Our reader does keep lesson formatting but you need to copy-paste the text, not HTML tags.

I am not trying to apply HTML; the text contains HTML tags because it is related to web technologies. (I have included a URL so you can check the content.)

I understand that when using the auto-import feature, only the text content is imported, just like when copying and pasting manually. However, manually removing these tags is a tedious process.

As a result, features like color-coding based on word status do not work correctly.

At the very least, it would be better to automatically remove HTML tags as part of the preprocessing. Alternatively, although not ideal, displaying an error message would be preferable.

We’ll see what can be done. Thanks for your feedback.
