Sticking my two cents worth in, the <br/> is a newer form of <br>, where by XHTML standard all tags must be complete. That is

 

<br> = <br></br>    
Note: The close tag </br> or <br /> is forbidden under HTML 4.01 some browsers do not render XHTML unless it is so stated that it is an XML Document, or that is what I have found.

 

or

 

<td/> = <td></td>

 

The trailing slash closed the tag and show the tag is empty. This is per http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/

There probably should be a property or two regarding formating like:

 

editor.FormatXML=true where true uses XHTML and false uses HTML

editor.FormatVerbose = true where true add CR LF (or space) after a tag and false is the current way. Editing the HTML currently is painfull. In the example below, if you try and select the <div> tag, you actually will get the <div><

 

<div><a href="http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/08/30/xsltandhtml/http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/08/30/xsltandhtml/">http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/08/30/xsltandhtml/</a>
</div>

 

When I use Italic from the menu I expect <i>dd</i> not <em>dd</em>

When I use Bold from the menu I expect <b>dd</b> not <strong>dd</strong>
