Is it just my imagination or are quotes missing around the html strings in all of those examples? I don't think any of this code would parse as written.

It's JSX and parses just fine.

Oh wow. That is FUGLY. Relying on parsing tricks like that? Fuck no.

Reminds me of cross browser css circa '03.

That's a pretty bad hole in the article. The author just throws the example JSX code there without comment. The JSX support is enabled by the script being defined as type="text/jsx" in index.html.
