The onthisday endpoint occasionally emits raw CSS and/or wikitext as part of the text that it returns.
For example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/onthisday/all/09/07
In the entry for 2017 there are CSS classes that are in the text.

@Mr_Patoot thanks for reporting this issue!
Could you please provide more details to understand the issue?
The endpoint output is very extensive and I couldn't find the issue you mentioned from a quick scan.

Sorry, I updated the task description and should have been more precise.
If you look at the output of the events endpoint for this particular day:
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/onthisday/events/09/07
one of the entries has unparsed stuff in the text field:
(search for the keyword Equifax)
{
text: "Equifax announce a cyber-crime identity theft event potentially impacting approximately 145.mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}1⁄2 million U.S. consumers.",
pages: [
{
type: "standard",
title: "Equifax",
displaytitle: "Equifax",
...This seems to happen for all entries that use a {{frac}} template in the original wikitext.
