Background

Rspack is a fast Rust-based web bundler and it is compatible with the architecture and ecosystem of webpack.

The html-webpack-plugin can be used with Rspack, but users will get a peer dependency warning:

 WARN  Issues with peer dependencies found
.
 └─┬ html-webpack-plugin 5.5.3
    └── ✕ missing peer webpack@^5.20.0

Description
