Converted to Mercury, it doesn’t build:

</div>

```auto
        Dim X = <li>
                    <%= From num In MyList
                        Select

                    %>
                </li>

```

fails to, but

```auto
        Dim X = <li>
                    <%= From num In MyList
                        Select
                        <ul><%= "foo" %>
                        </ul>
                    %>
                </li>

```

is fine. very strange.

Not related to Line, tis fails too

```auto
        Dim X = <li> <%= 5 %> </li> // H3 parameter 1 is "Int32" should be "not nullable RemObjects.Elements.RTL.DateTime"

```

seems it just doesn’t like Integers in \<%=%\>

It’s fixed for .Net, but the same problem is still there in WASM.
