 You're right, my bad.  It is just `<` and `&` that must be replaced by
 character entities or references.  But using `>` does allow the HTML to
 rendered correctly on the front-end, so the problem is probably in
 [[https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wptexturize/|wptexturize()]]
 (which is hooked to `the_content`).

 Let me see if I can find why it is confused by `>` in an attribute value.
