Research direction

Start with the linked pythonds3 SortSearch/TheMergeSort.html page and locate the source for its self-check questions. Reproduce the rendering in version 5.11, then identify the question content that displays HTML tags and the extra bracket in Q-4 B; done means the questions render without those artifacts.
