    I’m sorry Timmy but you’re not allowed to have any dessert unless you close your tags like I taught you. Your grandmother was XMLish and you need to carry on our family tradition.

    I thought you might do something like this so I got you a backup one from AO3.

        Take that back!

        (I’m actually a DB specialist but I have done a lot of full stack work in different portions of my career)

      It’s actually more confusing/less correct to close bodyless elements in HTML. Since HTML treats “/>” the same way as “>” which could lead to a “/>” tag not actually being closed, if it is used on a non-selfclosing tag.

    The one on the right should be labeled “full-stack dev” because that’s like 80% of them and they write in C# and Angular 😂

    Oh boy.

    We had a class in the first semester of uni where we had to create a static html page based on a screenshot.

    There was this one textbox at the top of the site, where the only way you could recreate the screenshot was by using a <br/> in the middle of the text.

    The prof was very picky about your HTML being semantically thorough and correct, so that was super weird that that was necessary.

        My point is sematics.

        You can style your whole webpage with divs, but using main, nav, footer or whatever blocks is semantically more correct, because you group elements together that have a certain purpose.

        A HTML Tag in the middle of a sentence is not wrong per se, but when parsing it a line break could signify two sentences where one has missing punctuation, instead of a complete sentence as your original intention was.

        I don’t really care how the design you want is achieved to be honest, but I don’t get why the prof didn’t argue against.

    In my own HTML-inspired text format (ETML - embedded text markup language), <br /> can be formatted to have as much space as you need.
