will result in<p>hello </p><div>world</div><p></p>
for example (the<div>
autoclosed the<p>
because<p>
cannot contain block-level elements)<option><div>option a</div></option>
will result in<option>option a</option>
(the<div>
is removed)<table><tr><td>cell</td></tr></table>
will result in<table><tbody><tr><td>cell</td></tr></tbody></table>

typescript_invalid_feature
TypeScript language features like %feature% are not natively supported, and their use is generally discouraged. Outside of `<script>` tags, these features are not supported. For use within `<script>` tags, you will need to use a preprocessor to convert it to JavaScript before it gets passed to the Svelte compiler. If you are using `vitePreprocess`, make sure to specifically enable preprocessing script tags (`vitePreprocess({ script: true })`)
