<hr>Details
Some HTML elements require opening and closing tags, while others are made up of a single self-closing tag, as you can see in the examples above.
A self-closing tag is made of an element’s symbol wrapped in angle brackets. It does not require a forward slash.
Elements that use self-closing tags are referred to as empty elements.
Some examples of empty elements are hr, br, and img.
