05AB1E producing HTML, score 0

In 05AB1E, the empty program takes input and outputs it verbatim (example). Since none of the paragraphs contain < or & or multiple consecutive spaces, then the output is valid HTML that will produce itself (a trivial quine).

APL producing HTML, score 10896.1

(Score is \$\text{len}(f_\text{main})×(\sum_{i=1}^{100}{\text{len}(f_\text{main}(p_i))\over100})^{1.5}\$.)

This prompts for a line of input and outputs it verbatim (example). Since none of the paragraphs contain < or & or multiple consecutive spaces, then the output is valid HTML that will produce itself (a trivial quine).

Python 3.8 (pre-release), score 465379.4785138254 (39 bytes, Python producing Python)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
