Fix self-closing img tag in author section

[seneca]

Incomplete img closing tag.

[nobkd]

HTML5 doesn't care about that slash. There are no real self-closing tags, only void tags, and those just allow the "self-closing" slash.

I personally would prefer to just never use /> for void tags (just <void>), as the usage imitates XML and may cause confusion, as real self-closing behavior does not exist in html5 (different from xml/svg), but that's just my opinion. 🤷

Of course the docs should be consistent in the use of that pattern.

what do you think?

Hi nobkd, This is a tricky one. The author emphasises that the framework wants to be as close to the standard as possible. The closing tag /> is part of the HTML standard. Should this be differed to the author to decide? All in all this is a very minor thing anyway.

From the HTML standard:

6. Then, if the element is one of the void elements, or if the element is a foreign element, then there may be a single U+002F SOLIDUS character (/), which on foreign elements marks the start tag as self-closing. On void elements, it does not mark the start tag as self-closing but instead is unnecessary and has no effect of any kind. For such void elements, it should be used only with caution — especially since, if directly preceded by an unquoted attribute value, it becomes part of the attribute value rather than being discarded by the parser.

My opinion on just not using /> in HTML stays the same, but in the end it doesn't really matter, as it --- as you said --- is such a minor thing.
And yes, I think @tipiirai should decide on that.
