title: Textarea self closing tag? <textarea />
body: <p>I recently watched some tutorials on youtube about building a simple react markdown previewer for a Freecodecamp challenge. However, the tutorials I've seen so far added this tag <code>&lt;textarea /&gt;</code> in the react code instead of <code>&lt;textarea&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;</code>.</p>
  <p>I looked up more info about <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> tag and w3schools, mdn web docs, and few other web sites still showed the <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> with its closing tag <code>&lt;/textarea&gt;</code> with the reason that it acts as a container for the stuff inside the <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> tag. And to use it in different form would break the code.</p>
  <p>Anyway, I'm wondering if it's still necessary in React framework to use the self-closing method such as this: <code>&lt;textarea /&gt;</code>? I'm just trying to figure out if I need to use <code>&lt;textarea /&gt;</code> in my project I'm coding or whether it's bad coding/practice.</p>
