Comment:

 The Block Editor (Gutenberg) relies on **block delimiters** to save and
 interpret content accurately. These delimiters, such as {{{<!--
 wp:paragraph -->}}} or {{{<!-- wp:html -->}}}, allow the editor to
 differentiate block types and render content correctly in both the editor
 and on the front end.

 When HTML is added directly into the Code Editor without these delimiters,
 Gutenberg cannot recognize the content as a structured block. This can
 result in unexpected rendering, especially with nested HTML elements. To
 ensure proper handling, it is recommended to use the appropriate block
 delimiters when adding custom HTML.

 It's worth noting that there are open issues in the Gutenberg GitHub
 repository addressing similar or related behavior, highlighting the
 challenges in implementing seamless conversion of raw code into structured
 blocks. This indicates that the complexity of accurately parsing and
 interpreting raw HTML while maintaining block integrity is a topic still
 under active discussion and refinement within the community.
