Hi! Today I noticed that the W3C validor mentioning the fact that sself closig tags are 'widely discouranged':
Self-closing tag syntax in text/html documents is widely discouraged; it’s unnecessary and interacts badly with other HTML features (e.g., unquoted attribute values). If you’re using a tool that injects self-closing tag syntax into all void elements, without any option to prevent it from doing so, then consider switching to a different tool.JCE uses the self-closing tag <br /> when a newline is used in an article or module. We have set the general settings of JCE to 'Doctype' -> 'HTML5'. So I would expect that JCE would then avoid using self-closing tags. But this is not the case. So on those tags the W3C valdator is now giving us those warnings / messages. I suppose there might be some other tags this applies to as well (img?) We also see this on <link> elements and images. (outside of JCE). So this is probably a bigger 'issue' for our sites / Joomla / template. Or maybe it's not an issue at all... But I was wondering what you think about this Ryan? I also noticed the CSS that is added get the same warning: For example:
