Modern HTML must follow all the XML rules, which is that tags in pairs look like
"<foo></foo>" and standalone tags look like "<foo/>". Whether or not there is
whitespace before a "/" is a stylistic choice, but the "/" MUST be present in
standalone tags. Having "<br>" by itself is wrong, full stop. -- Darren Duncan

Hi and good day,
So now BREAK should be only <br> in HTML5.
Until a week ago the w3 corrector marked <br /> as the only correct way.
w3:
"Self-closing tag syntax in text/html documents is widely discouraged." Some for
BBEdit ( CTRL - CMD - Y) marks the <br /> as necessary.
(And then there are flavours of HTML ), I'm using <!doctype HTML>.
So a little confused, which way to take?
