Research direction

Reproduce the comparison with the two HTML snippets from the issue, then inspect the html-differ entry points and tests that handle attribute normalization. Determine how the tool could distinguish quoted and unquoted attributes without breaking its current equivalence behavior; done means the templating-engine cases are testable and covered by regression tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There is no difference for html-differ between such files:

<div class=a></div>

and

<div class="a"></div>

This is correct, but it doesn't allow to test different templating engines output.
