    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.

      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.
