Which is better <br> or </br> ? Why?

Answer 1

</br>

Answer 2

<br> is the only valid way in html... even if html permissivity allows some syntax error by silently fix them ^^

Answer 3

@hdo what makes you think so?

Answer 4

Both fulfill the same function, the difference is that it is used more </ br> because it is a standard to distinguish that it is a label.

Answer 5

<br/> is better as it is the standard tag for breaking a line in HTML, actually using <br> will not cause an error, but it's not guaranteed that no error will appear.
So just be in the safe side use <br/> instead.
BTW the standard tag is <br/> not </br>.
