The `wp_sanitize_script_attributes()`
[https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_sanitize_script_attributes/
function] is no longer used by WordPress Core since [61485]. Its
additional utility of adding a `type` attribute was removed in [61440] as
part of #64428.
WordPress offers robust functionality for working with script tags:
[https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_script_tag/
wp_get_script_tag()] and
[https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_inline_script_tag/
wp_get_inline_script_tag()]. Developers are better off with these tools
that work with complete SCRIPT tags instead of partial snippets of HTML
text.
