<html><HEAD><TITLE>Br</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><br/></body></html> The sequence <FOO /> can be interpreted in at least two different ways +, depending on the DOCTYPE of the document. For HTML 4.01 Strict, the '/' terminates the tag <FOO + (with an implied '>'). However, since many browsers don't interpret it this way, even in the +presence of an HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it completely in pure HTML documen +ts and reserve its use solely for those written in XHTML.
Ah, yes, I forgot that nettags are formally supported by the DTD. So, yes, <br/> is valid, but it's not a simple line break: it's a line break followed by a greater than sign. Not supported by most browsers though.
