Question about use of <BR /> in help-files

Is there a reason that I see <BR /> (which means according to Boudewijn a linefeed)
As far as my HTML-knowledge goes it has to be <BR> instead of <BR />.
Or is there a reason that I see this in the lang_files?

It should actually be <br /> and not <BR />
HTML uses <br> but in XHTML all tags have to close so <br></br> is needed. The self eclosing form of this is <br />
You will notice that in our app we strive to be valid xhtml and all <img tags are self enclosing etc. Just search the forum for xhtml.
Yep, I just found this information about XHTML.
But I just didn't realize that PGV uses XHTML :-)
I thought it only uses HTML/PHP and MySQL
xhtml is largely an attempt by W3 to step up from html 4.x and enforce stricter tags & "grammar" for webcoding.
Together with CSS2 it should make for better cross-platform webpages, as well as separating content out from styling.
Most xhtml is much the same as html 4.x. The most obvious difference are the self-enclosing tags, such as <br /> <img ... /> and some of the meta-tags at the top of the file.
