Hello,

Since we read various things on the internet, I would like to know which tag we should use for a line break in HTML5.

Thank you. :)

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 22.0.1229.79

Hello,

The <br> tag is a non-container tag....

Example of a container tag:
<div>......</div>

A container tag has a start marker <....> and an end marker </...>

The writing </br> is only possible if you do <br></br>. But since there is nothing to contain, the official writing in all HTML versions is:

<br/>

Note that this also applies to other tags like INPUT or IMG, for example:

<input type="text" name="adressePostale"/>

<img src="monImage.jpg" alt="example image"/>

or for HR

<hr/>

etc....

The recommendations regarding HTML writing (all versions) should be aligned with the requirements of the XML standard:

non-container element:

<tag/>

container element:

<tag>...content...</tag>

See you

I do not tolerate intolerance.

RE,
Just to nitpick, it seems to me that a space should be placed between the "r" and the "/".
