-### Svelte Strict Mode
-
-More strict HTML syntax: Quotes in attributes and no self-closing DOM elements (except void elements).
-
-> In version 2 this overruled `svelteAllowShorthand`, which is no longer the case.

-> In Svelte 5, attributes are never quoted, because this will mean "stringify this attribute value" in a future Svelte version
