Which one is more correct 1) <br> OR 2) <br/>

Question

This is related to HTML coding

Answer 1

Hello, Ladoo !
Depending on the specification: for DOCTYPE HTML, it will be correct <br>, for DOCTYPE XHTML - <br/>. For XHTML it is typical to put a slash before the closing bracket in single tags: <br/>, <hr/>, <input/>, etc.

Writing </br> - is incorrect, because BR is a single tag, and a slash after the opening bracket is for closing descriptors only.

Answer 2

Both are correct.
However in React.js, use <br />, all tags must have closing tag.

Answer 3

They are both correct.
You just has to be coherent.
I mean, if you start using one, go with it.
don't use the two in the same site.
