It sounds like you’re trying to render XHTML using an HTML
parser. Oftentimes, you can switch an HTML parser to XML mode by
prefixing your XHTML with <?xml version="1.0"?>. Or by specifying the
Content-Type header as application/xhtml+xml (not sure how you do that
with embedded engines). Or you could preprocess the XHTML into HTML
first by parsing the XHTML with an XML parser and then serializing it
with an HTML serializer so that it is OK to feed to the HTML parser
(using xmllint as an example which sort of gets close):

    $ echo '<div class="my-class"/>asdf<div/>' | xmllint --html - | grep -e div
    <div class="my-class"></div>asdf<div></div>
