Description
Describe the bug
When an inline element (e.g. <label>, <span>) directly hugs a following <textarea> (no whitespace between them), the printer inserts a stray literal > character between the two elements. This changes the rendered page: the stray > becomes visible text in the DOM.
Source
<div>
<label for="x">Name</label><textarea id="x" rows="4"></textarea>
</div>
Expected behaviour
The extra > is not inserted...
Actual behaviour
<div><label for="x">Name</label>><textarea id="x" rows="4"></textarea></div>

Research direction
Reproduce the formatter output with the provided label and textarea source using the prettier CLI and the @shopify/prettier-plugin-liquid plugin, checking the listed printWidth settings. Trace the formatting path for adjacent inline elements and textarea elements; done means no literal > appears between them and the output matches the expected HTML.
