in thread Convert BMP to HTML

True, but is the monastery not much older than HTML5?

Looking into the source I see (though chrome is graying it out)

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

So I tried to find those specifications, but couldn't locate clear rules about closing tags in HTML4.

But some examples clearly demonstrate omitted tags.

<TABLE border="1">
<TR><TD>1 <TD rowspan="2">2 <TD>3
<TR><TD>4 <TD>6
<TR><TD>7 <TD>8 <TD>9
</TABLE>

    Check e.g. the TR section:

    Start tag: required, End tag: optional

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
