OK. I could narrow the problem, and produce it at will.

### Case 1 : Original code : The problem occurs in partial `crise.html`.

```go-html-template
<a href="{{ site.Params.cta.btnURL | relURL }}" class="btn btn-default btn-contact wow fadeInDown" data-wow-delay=".4s" data-wow-duration="500ms" title="Plus d'information">{{ site.Params.cta.btnText }}</a>

{{ partial "crise.html" . }}

```

### Case 2 : Not working either : If I add the class in a href =\> not added to json.

```go-html-template
<a href="{{ site.Params.cta.btnURL | relURL }}" class="crise btn btn-default btn-contact wow fadeInDown" data-wow-delay=".4s" data-wow-duration="500ms" title="Plus d'information">{{ site.Params.cta.btnText }}</a>

```

### Case 3 : And here we go ! : If I add the same line but with **only the crise class** it works !!

```go-html-template
<a href="{{ site.Params.cta.btnURL | relURL }}" class="crise">{{ site.Params.cta.btnText }}</a>

```

And it also add some other missing classes I had in my partial: “crise”, “crise-text”,“crise-titre”,

So it seem that the parsing was interrupted or something.

[EDIT]

### FOUND THE CAUSE

I could narrow the problem.  
When I remove the **title=“Plus d’information”** (simplified case 2) it works too !

So the **minimal code to have the problem** is this line :

```html
<a href="{{ site.Params.cta.btnURL | relURL }}" class="crise" title="Plus d'information">{{ site.Params.cta.btnText }}</a>

```

So the culprit seems **title=“Plus d’information”** clashing with something.  
Strange

### Same problem than OP

> `<a title="Learn more about Brave's release channel."`

Yes, this is the same pattern than OP. Problem occurs when there is a `'` in title value.  
Whoa ! Nasty one.

[EDIT] Filled a bug in GitHub : [Class not writen in hugo\_stats.json when there is an apostrophe (') in (a href) title value. · Issue #7746 · gohugoio/hugo · GitHub](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/7746)
