[thelist] end tags?

[Oren Levin]

Close but not quite. From the W3C Guidelines:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines

Include a space before the trailing / and > of empty elements, e.g. <br />,
<hr /> and <img src="karen.jpg" alt="Karen" />. Also, use the minimized tag
syntax for empty elements, e.g. <br />, as the alternative syntax <br></br>
allowed by XML gives uncertain results in many existing user agents.

Hope that helps.

Just came across this page

http://www.devx.com/projectcool/developer/reference/tag-table.html

which is advising that these days we should be using end tags for all
HTML elements, such as <img></img>, <base></base>, <input></input>...

I must admit I haven't really delved into XHTML or XML much yet, but my
limited understanding of those technologies does not include the rules
above.

Is this page correct?

Thanks,
Karen
