When typing a new line element (<br>) when I press the shift + greater-than key instead of the character ">" I am asking for the program enters " />" into the code.
As far as I can see this can not be changed via the keyboard shortcut keys.
I tried to auto-replace " />" with ">", but this doesn't work either.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this behaviour?
Thanks!

Re: New line element (<br>) in Rapid PHP 2011
The behaviour depends on the doctype you are using for your HTML page.
If you are using XHTML then all tags MUST be closed with a / even single ones like <br> or <img src="image.jpg"> become <br /> and <img src="image.jpg" />
Other tags like <p> always end with </p> anyway so they are no different.
If you are using HTML 4 (not sure about HTML 5) than you can use <br>
WeBuilder, and I guess RapidPHP, picks up which doctype you are using and adjusts to suite.
I find it a very good feature as it saves quite a lot of keystrokes, and you don't forget to add them!

Hi MikeyB,
Thanks for your reaction!
In the meantime I found out that the behaviour stops when you uncheck the Auto complete HTML tags option (in language options HTML).
As I am writing HTML, not XHTML, and I still got the " />" ending I think the program does not change it's behaviour depending on the doctype.
I am a neat freak, so I guess I will have to keep typing the end tags myself

Glad you got it sorted.
I tested this yesterday, and again today, and my WeBuilder definitely only puts /> if it's an XHTML doctype, if it's standard HTML then all I get is >geertemo wrote:I think the program does not change it's behaviour depending on the doctype.

So I just bought the wrong program...

When I test it WeBuilder is behaving correctly for the doctype in the file, can you post your code so I can try it.

Re: New line element (<br>) in Rapid PHP 2011
No code necessary: I had the HTML5 ruleset loaded and then the /> occurs in a normal HTML document (which is not correct according to W3C http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-s ... br-element).
I loaded the HTML4.02 ruleset and now the > appears when writing normal HTML.
