I cannot reproduce this.  I see no problem whatsoever with this file,
using Emacs 28.  It seems to be an HTML file, but I don't see any
problems even if I turn on html-mode.

Try visiting it in "emacs -Q".  If the problem disappears, look for
some customization(s) of your that make visiting this file so painful.
