Q

Proper way of closing empty elements in XHTML

A

HTML elements with no content are called empty elements.

<br></br> is an empty element without a closing tag (the <br></br> tag defines a line break).

Tip: In XHTML, all elements must be closed. Adding a slash inside the start tag, like <br></br>, is the proper way of closing empty elements in XHTML (and XML).
