That’s is correct. Here’s an example.

I have saved in my iPad’s Notes app, a collection of html coded go-to pics, gifs, and prior posts for quick access and posting.

This img syntax came from a prior post. Please note I omitted the greater than and less than brackets so you could see it here.

img src ="https://media.tenor.com/images/87732ea95ee70a9fc4a48054d3db7339/tenor.gif"

When I add the <> brackets, we see a familiar gif…

Now, I’m going to manually type img src and add the url…on my screen I see a box with a question mark. Parenthetically, my iPad does the same ‘add a blank space’ annoying thing that Yo-Yo has happening. But I removed the space and it’s still a question mark.

FWIW, with my new iPad I also cannot add a hyperlink by manually typing “a href”. I have to copy an old html-coded hyperlink from Notes, paste it, and swap out the old with the new hyperlink.

omit the space between src and =

It almost sounds like the font set your iPad is using has a different Unicode number for < and > than what FR's text editor is expecting, so it doesn't treat them as HTML delineators.

But that is WAAAAAAAY above my paygrade.

And again I reiterate that I have a similar problem with my iOS on my iPhone. So much so that when I'm posting from my phone I don't even try to add pics or hyperlinks.

I use Safari exclusively, but if you have Chrome or another browser on your iPad, do you get the same poor results with that browser? The issue could be within Safari, too. Dunno.
