XHTML transitional self closing tags -


i using

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.01 transitional//en" "http://www.w3.org/tr/html4/loose.dtd"> 

doctype , notice i'm being suggested elements such as

<p /> instead of <p> </p> 

in eclipse ide. self closing tag? capital letter standard of somesort?

yes, <p /> self-closing tag <p></p>, , valid in xhtml (but not html5).

every browser supports xhtml supports self-closing syntax every tag:

elements declared in dtd empty can have end tag or can use empty element shorthand (see empty elements).

having said that, self-closing paragraph makes no sense.

it's important note xhtml elements must written in lower-case:

xhtml documents must use lower case html element , attribute names. difference necessary because xml case-sensitive e.g. <li> , <li> different tags.

it's important note xhtml doctype outdated as of 2012. strongly suggest switching html 5 instead.

hope helps! :)
