The Break Tab

[Hollywood Bob]

When I click on the Break Tab ( br ) to insert a break, I always get <br/> instead of the opening tag of <br>.

Can anyone tell me how to change this on my tool bar, so that I can just click on the break tab and get <br>.

thank you

I use this often and have no problem. Since the break is a one time only (e.g. no opening tab <br> with an associated closing tag </br>), it does not seem there should be a problem.

Does it not work correctly for you?

<br /> is the 'proper' way to define a line-break. It's to do with the fact that all tags need to be closed under XHTML ( the latest standard ). <br> is technically open, the / just closes it straight away.

btw there should be a space between the br and /, as there is the odd browser which doesn't understand it otherwise.

I'm using HTMLPad Pro 5.25 and can confirm that the break button now inserts the correct <br /> tag.
