When adding a help_text attribute to a field in models,
eg: "This field can be left blank if <v1> is False" (where v1 is used as a
variable placeholder in string format for explanation purposes).
When logging into that table in Django admin panel, all fields after that
field with the help_text don't appear, making it impossible to make,
alter, or delete objects. After several troubleshooting, I discovered that
the '>' character was what caused it to break, which hence suggests that
it may have been identified as a closing tag, making everything after that
field disappear.

Example shown in the image above ⬆️. As shown the help text suddenly
breaks after ':', and nothing appears

Comment:
This is a usage mistake. Per the documentation for
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.help_text
Field.help_text]:
Note that this value is not HTML-escaped in automatically-generated
forms. This lets you include HTML in help_text if you so desire. .. you
can use plain text and `django.utils.html.escape()` to escape any HTML
special characters.
