As known to all, in the new HTML 4.01 standard, all the tags must be closed properly as the W3Schools wrote on their HTML Tutorial.
My question is if tag like the <br> tag, also must be properly close with a </br> tag?
Also I would like to ask if I "close" tag at its opening tag like <br /> or <link />
it also will be accepted by the HTML 4.01 standard?
I will be happy to hear the members professional opinions!!
