…ext wrapping Prevents wrap_bare_text from adding <p> tags inside <title> elements, which caused HTML entity escaping issues in Python 3.13.6+ due to changes in the html.parser module. Title elements can only contain text content per HTML spec.

Thank you for this great project! I tried to use ReadabiliPy with Python 3.13.7 and found that tests were failing, so I investigated the cause and implemented a fix.
Context
Python 3.13.6+ introduced stricter HTML5 compliance in html.parser which causes our tests to fail.
Problem
wrap_bare_textfunction wraps ALL bare text in<p>tags, including text inside<title>elements<title><p>Text</p></title><title><p>Text</p></title>(escaping the invalid nested tags)<title><p>Text</p></title>but actual has escaped versionSolution
<title>elements as they can only contain text per HTML spec<title>elements are only allowed "Text that is not inter-element whitespace"Related Python issues
