in thread Convert BMP to HTML

Mine doesn't do that, because it's unnecessary. All web browsers know that a "</TD>" block ends when another one begins or when TABLE object ends

Just because all most browsers will deal with erroneous HTML code is hardly an excuse to deliberately produce it.

    The closing tags for TD and TR are optional by the spec, it's not "erroneous HTML".

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

      With HTML5, you can omit A LOT of markup. This is perfectly valid HTML5, even without <head> and <body> elements (they are implicit), and without the closing </html>:

      <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<title>Valid HTML</title>
<h1>Valid HTML</h1>

        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>
