Your example IS the proper way to do that.

11/21/2024, 4:10 PMIt isn't "required" as backward compatibility, but if you're still using tags, yes, please close the tag that way.

11/21/2024, 4:17 PMAnd if you're wondering, HTML does this also. For example:
<input type="blah" name="blahname" value="iliketurtles">
is "valid" (it'll work in the browser!) but really should be:
<input type="blah" name="blahname" value="iliketurtles" />

11/21/2024, 4:18 PMWasn't there something with the old "XHTML" doctype standard that required those closing slashes on tags that had no inner content?

11/21/2024, 4:20 PMIts a deep well. XHTML required closing slashed, and when HTML5 came out, it was put in as "optional". However, if you're using something like JSX, they are NOT optional.
