title: What are the allowed ways to close self-closing tags for void elements such as <br> in HTML5?
body: <p>In HTML5 is it still appropriate to close a <code>&lt;br&gt;</code> tag with <code>&lt;br /&gt;</code>?</p>
  
  <p>This obviously also applies to all other single tags. I realize this doesn't actually affect how stuff works, but what is best practice here?</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>someLines of txt &lt;br&gt;            // How you see a lot of people doing it
  and then some &lt;br /&gt;             // XHTML style! Should I still be doing this? 
  ow im not done yet.. &lt;br&gt; &lt;/br&gt;  // No one does this right? RIGHT?!
  </code></pre>
