XHTML Tutorial - Closing <br> Tags

(Continued from previous topic...)

What Is Wrong with My <br> Tags?

If you are used HTML syntax, you may write your <br> tags as in the paragram below:

<p>
I love the way you look at me,<br>
Your eyes so bright and blue.<br>
I love the way you kiss me,<br>
Your lips so soft and smooth.<br>
</p>

But that paragraph will be invalid as XHTML documents, because all 4 <br> are not closed. You should change it to:

<p>
I love the way you look at me,<br/>
Your eyes so bright and blue.<br/>
I love the way you kiss me,<br/>
Your lips so soft and smooth.<br/>
</p>
