Note: the <img> tag does not use and does not need a closing slash and never has in any HTML specification.

Same HTML specification does not support .hmml

Until they support .hmml imma close my image tags. But thanks for highlighting

(its a joke)

Closing an <img> tag with a slash has no meaning. It does nothing. And browsers ignore it. So it's pointless cause <img> is self-closing by itself.

Unless you’re the type who wants their HTML to be valid XHTML! :^)
