Issue related to Raptor template rendering <img />

[Kane Sun]

When Raptor template rendering <img src=”url” />, it seems it dropped the forward slash in the output.

Is it on purpose or it's bug?

Thanks,

Kane,

This is intentional. This article has a pretty good explanation:

http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/to-close-or-not-to-close-tags-in-html5

From the article:

Some closing tags are optional, however. The tags are optional because it’s implied that a new tag would not be able to be started without closing it. These are the following:
html, head, body, p, dt, dd, li, option, thead, th, tbody, tr, td, tfoot, colgroup. There are also tags that are forbidden to be closed: img, input, br, hr, meta, etc.

I've been using Raptor templates across many versions of IE, Firefox, and Chrome and have not had an issue with self-closing tags.

Thanks,

Phil
