Some Minor Progress With the Progress and Meter Tags on WordPress

In 2 previous posts I tried to use these tags in a custom html block to track my progress in a course I am following. Unfortunately this doesn’t work for some reason. I copied some posts over to a WordPress Blog I set up on a hosting account and to my surprise it actually works without problems there. Same code that correctly displays the progress and meter tags in a custom html block over there doesn’t work on my WordPress.com. It displays correctly while writing the post but after saving the post it strips all the tags away and I end up without a progess bar or meter bar naturally. Preliminary conclusion for now is that the custom html block seems to support these tags correctly but for a reason not clear to me doesn’t work properly on my WordPress.com site.
